CarlaMaestro: the first Human Resources and Expenses platform available as a service (SaaS)

In 2005, consulting firm IDC stated: “Today, 70% of corporations are buying or thinking of buying software as a service (SaaS)”. So, what is driving this shift toward SaaS?

Large corporations and small businesses alike are adopting the on-demand model. Because ondemand applications do not require any hardware or software to be purchased, managed or maintained, they are increasingly popular with IT firms obliged to do more with less. On-demand applications eliminate maintenance and let users perform simple configuration tasks, freeing IT departments to focus on innovation.

The CarlaMaestro platform is available as a Web-based service (SaaS) or as a traditional on-site licence-fee application.

 

CarlaMaestro is a native Java platform (J2EE) with a service-oriented architecture (SOA), so it can operate in a Linux, UNIX or Windows environment. It fits the needs of corporations looking for greater reusability. The data and applications layers are totally separate. CarlaMaestro is multi-database and multi-server, supporting SQL Server, Oracle or Postgres databases and BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere and Red Hat JBoss application servers.

CarlaMaestro is built on technologies that make information easily accessible while allowing applications to be rolled out across the enterprise at a very competitive cost.

 

Thanks to its open architecture, the CarlaMaestro platform integrates seamlessly with all third-party applications (ERP, accounting and payroll software, travel services, etc.).

For example, CarlaMaestro generates account books automatically and transfers them to the accounting system. By its very nature, CarlaMaestro exchanges large quantities of information with your payroll and human resources systems. Its Corporate Card module also processes card files from the main corporate credit card providers. Likewise, the Travel and Work Order modules offer connectivity with the main travel providers, agents, car rental firms and shipping companies.
