Comarch Semiramis will also be available as an on-demand solution in the future. Installed in the IBM computer centre, the web-based ERP-II software can be acquired as Service Over The Internet. Comarch Semiramis On Demand is offered at a price starting from 113 euros per user per month. The sale and implementation of Comarch Semiramis On Demand takes place via the Comarch Semiramis partner network.

The Comarch Semiramis ERP-II software, developed completely in JAVA, is based on a software architecture which is designed for the internet. Comarch Semiramis provides all functionalities in the web browser; the system can be used from anywhere, no software installation is necessary in Client ("Zero Administration Client") Thus, Comarch Semiramis is pre-destined for on-demand operation.

Comarch Semiramis On Demand is directed at medium-sized companies who desire extremely flexible, easily scaleable operation of their business software. The customer orders a solution for a specific number of users and can scale use according to requirement. Depending on how the company develops, the number of users can be increased or reduced and new locations can be easily integrated. With this operator model, the customers are completely freed of care for the IT infrastructure of their business software – one aspect which is receiving increasing significance in view of the increasing requirement for compliance in regards to information security.

Also, from an economic perspective, the on-demand model reveals interesting options. The customer can keep initial investments in ERP implementation low and, from an economic point of view, has the option to move its expenses from the area of investment costs to operating expenditure and thus convert fixed costs into variable costs.
