Four51 Storefront

Four51 Storefront is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that was built for B2B distributors and manufacturers. To continue their focus on B2B and their dedication to a zeroinstall, cloud-based delivery model, Four51 knew they needed to expand capabilities for the Four51 Storefront platform beyond their four walls by taking a cost-effective approach.

Here’s how it happened: The journey began with a well-constructed, in-depth total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis. OneNeck worked with Four51 to identify and weigh the value of TCO variables when considering a hardware refresh or move to the cloud.

Based on these findings, OneNeck recommended, ReliaCloud, our hosted private cloud platform, to host their SaaS applications and meet their 100% uptime requirements.
