Over the last 12 months we at Sastra have been tirelessly working to home in on a technology stack to build our financial applications for the cloud, during this period we learnt that a stack is only as good as the hosting services provider. Which means that you might have the best of breed technology stack but then if your hosting services provider isn't able to match his services and SLA's then things fall apart.

Several clients have asked us if we support a particular browser, in most cases our answer has been affirmative except in a few cases where the browser dated back to a few years.

Sastra Technologies is proud to be an Organisation member of the Drupal Association.

Increasing IT budgets and their effect on a company´s bottom line have always posed severe challenges to businesses. Adding to this the cost of applications bugs sneaking into ¨Production¨systems resulting in lengthy downtimes; The cost of handshaking systems from different vendors; The ever increasing cost of IT Staff and maintenance contracts all pose severe challenges. The state of affairs on the ground seems to be inversely proportional to the certifications acquired by the vendor. All this exacerbated by razor thin margins in a highly segmented market. How then do you increase OPM? Look at new ways of doing business or look at cost effective IT applications.

SASTRA offers subscription of business applications to suit enterprise of every size. What does this mean? It means that you pay a monthly subscription for each user who needs to use the applications. Just like you pay for a magazine subscription, Cable or electricity usage. Sastra technologies will maintain the application for you. So no initial costs in hardware, no implementation costs and no calculating ROI, you have upfront cost savings. All upgrades, fixes will be performed by SASTRA at no additional cost to you (provided you have a valid subscription). You can take your own backups. At no point will you be locked to a vendor.

SASTRA Technologies currently hosts these applications on the Amazon EC2 cloud. So you can be sure that your precious data is secure. As your business grows you can opt to increase either your users or just the bandwidth and the space.
