Procurement Options
Various options are available to fund your investment in Cascade. Whether you wish to purchase the system outright, finance your purchase or opt for a software as a service approach we can offer the solution for you.
Traditionally most of our clients purchase their systems outright either through phased invoicing direct to Cascade or through finance agreements over 2 or more years. Financing your purchase provides a simple, cost effective solution that delivers a perpetual license to use your system and typically covers the support fees for the period of the finance and also any services you have selected for implementation should the finance option be taken. When the finance is completed then your only costs are the ongoing optional support fee.
Software as a Service allows you to take our solutions over an agreed contract term on a rental basis. This reduces your initial outlay and means that the software is hosted by us on our hosting partner's servers. It is even possible to convert from SaaS to an outright purchase and transfer the system to your own servers should you so choose.
