Essent releases Compass On-Demand

Essent announces Compass™ On-Demand — the Essent® Compass™ Business Management System hosted by Essent. Compass is a comprehensive, fully-integrated Business Management System designed specifically for the Promotional Products Industry and configured for specific needs of your business.

Compass On-Demand allows Compass to be deployed quickly with little IT involvement — all while ensuring a secure, scalable and high-performance environment. A hosted solution can minimize your internal resource requirements and can get you up and running quickly, without having to invest in hardware or additional personnel during the implementation and preparation. With On-Demand, quickly deploy Compass. Immediately, Compass analysis, configuration, and training can begin.

Compass On-Demand is hosted at the state-of-the-art Essent Data Center — a hardened, limited-access facility staffed 24 hours a day to ensure security, availability, and performance. Customers have access to the system via a high-speed Internet connection and supported browser.

A hosted solution eliminates the high upfront costs of purchasing hardware and third party software to support the environment. The hosted model is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for organizations to maintain complex infrastructures with multiple servers and complex licenses, which you need to replace every few years. Compass On-demand eliminates the upfront investment and allows clients to subscribe month to month at an affordable rate. Compass On-Demand is a month to month affordable solution for any size client.

Essent continues to offer Compass Enterprise for larger organizations. The Enterprise solution is best hosted locally by the client with the proper infrastructure. Compass Enterprise is scalable to hundreds of concurrent users and thousands of web users.
