Interoperability and CLS 3.0

The Software as a Service (SaaS) Paradigm
Companies and consumers alike continually expect more from their software providers. These expectations include software that is internet accessible, on-demand, and delivered conveniently through a web browser. Other expectations include software that is versatile, comprehensive, and affordable. Cool Life Systems has recognized these expectations and has made it possible through a form of software delivery known as SaaS (Software as a Service). Software delivered via the Internet, is becoming the standard in today’s web-driven society. Real Time information is a neccessity, not a luxury.  And although companies can now manage business operations from Sales Performance to Project Management with multiple disparate applications, a diverging IT environment creates significant cost and data sharing barriers. It becomes increasingly difficult for businesses to streamline their operations and ensure that all of their applications work in harmony with one another.

The Importance of Interoperability
Whether a business succeeds or fails is determined upon how effectively information is created, shared, applied, and dispersed. With that said, it is obvious that information technology plays a critical role in the productivity rate of individual project teams and overall business. The demand for Interoperability, or interconnected products that comprehend one another and work in unison, is only increasing and has become more important than ever in both the eyes of the customer and vendor. Today, a typical company uses multiple applications to achieve their daily operation which imposes extreme limitations to interoperability.  When applications don’t comprehend each other - information sharing is hindered. Project productivity and overall business goals suffer as a consequence. The SaaS industry in particular, continues to make huge strides to ensure that their products achieve effective interoperability.

The Solution – CLS 3.0
Customers are realizing the advantages of implementing an interoperable platform versus a monolithic, centralized application.  When a company’s IT environment includes a host of software applications from several vendors, information does not flow seamlessly and business productivity is highly disrupted and costs increase. An interoperable IT environment enhances productivity, maximizes ROI (Return on Investment), and boosts efficiency.
