Why LAMP
LAMP can significantly reduce or eliminate traditional IT costs for hardware acquisition and software license and applications maintenance costs. Very little infrastructure is required; LAMP is accessed through the internet from any web browser or web-enabled phone. As a service subscriber rather than software licensee, costly software upgrades that are generally required by the traditional ERP vendors every 2 to 3 years, are eliminated. There are no business disruptions during the no-cost LAMP upgrades. Subscribers can realize significant savings from LAMP. First time ERP clients avoid costly software and implementation costs, both initially and recurring, and can realize full benefits from an accelerated installation without having any infrastructure other than access to the internet from a web browser. Traditional legacy ERP customers can realize significant cost savings by reducing infrastructure, licenses, maintenance and application support within 12 months of implementation, an ROI that can be measured in months, not years. No ongoing expensive consulting and systems integration support is required. IMPART provides configuration and conversion on a fixed fee basis. IMPART doesn't leave those other consulting, partners, behind that seemingly never goes away.
History and Pedigree
LAMP is among a select few enterprise software products developed entirely with open source software and protocols, resulting in lower costs to IMPART and customers alike. Built from the ground-up for SaaS delivery with multi-tenant (MT) architecture - it is not a rewrite or revamp of a single tenant (ST) system. LAMP has over 100 man-years of development during its five years of development effort to-date. Our software and services are built on over 30 years of experience in software design, development and delivery. The MT architecture allows IMPART to achieve an improved cost structure while maximizing the value to our customers by including improved and new business logic through rapid deployment of LAMP upgrades to the entire user base without upgrade cost or business interruption.
