Software Concepts Inc. Offers Affordable Subscription Model for Small Distributors
NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., July 9, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Software Concepts, Inc. has introduced an affordable entry-level subscription model of its DS90 iSeries Distribution and Accounting Software for small distributors. A price as low as $175/month provides software licensing for three users - only $58.25/month per user.
Powerful DS90 iSeries Software
The function-rich DS90 iSeries Software is a budget-friendly ERP solution developed to meet the needs of growing businesses. An intuitive, easy to use interface enables quick ramp-up. The ability to mask functionality until needed makes the DS90 iSeries Distribution Software easy to learn and highly scalable.
The DS90 iSeries solution is no lightweight, though. A full-featured Quote-to-Cash system, it includes the key capabilities of higher end ERP applications. Robust functionality right out of the box meets the needs of businesses for today and as their software needs expand. To improve productivity and control, activate the myriad functionality embedded in the DS90 iSeries software. Manage inventory across multiple locations by simply turning on location capability. Expose EDI functionality to accept and transmit orders for large retailers.
DS90 iSeries Distribution Software can integrate easily with other technologies, software and services. Created for the independent small business, the software easily adapts to handle unique workflows and in-house systems. The highly-intuitive user interface offers administrators the ability to nimbly manage user access to specific functionality and data.
With the ability to configure their own navigation and menu structure to accommodate individual work patterns, the user interface also enables users to acclimate quickly. Users can retain the standard interface or select a modern Windows-based GUI.
Licensing and Hosting Options
While a subscription model carries minimal up-front capital investment, the ideal licensing option for each business depends on their unique situation. The powerful DS90 iSeries Software works equally well whether it's hosted on-premise via an IBM i Power System or in an IBM i cloud. Software Concepts offers various licensing solutions, including a standard perpetual license (one-time purchase) and lower cost subscription models.

While the Software Concepts entry-level subscription price of $175/month provides software licensing for three users, licenses for additional users can be added in quantities based on a company's specific needs, rather than in pre-bundled groups of users.
"Try before you buy" flexible licensing allows customers an opportunity to test-drive the DS90 iSeries Distribution Software via a subscription licensing model, with the option to migrate to a perpetual license if desired.
Cloud hosting is provided through an IBM Power System (IBM i) private partition for users that elect to host in the cloud. The monthly fee of $211.32* includes the following:
- Memory: 4 GB of memory
- Disk space: 500 GB of disk space
- Backup: 250 GB of backup within the data center
- Redundancy: Nightly backup copy to a separate data center
- Firewall: vShield Edge VPN firewall

The following IBM software is pre-loaded on the partition:
