ANN ARBOR, Mich.--BUSINESS WIRE--Advenware, an e-commerce website developer, has chosen to host their
Software-as-a-Service SaaS solution on Online Tech’s fully managed
cloud. The managed
cloud hosting service passed PCI DSS Level 3 penetration testing to
meet PCI compliance standards.
“Everyone I talked with said that it was impossible to achieve PCI
compliance without a dedicated server. Then they would try and sell me a
$3,000 year dedicated service”
As Timothy Buttram, Advenware CEO & Chief Programmer, was searching for
a server to host his new SaaS e-commerce platform on, he ran into some
challenges. He wanted the ability to increase server capacity on demand
as his business grew and avoid customer downtime that is associated with
a colocation or dedicated server. So, he knew that cloud computing would
be the perfect solution. However, part of his hosting requirements was
to achieve PCI compliance.
“Everyone I talked with said that it was impossible to achieve PCI
compliance without a dedicated server. Then they would try and sell me a
$3,000 year dedicated service,” says Buttram. “But then I discovered
that Online Tech had broken the barrier in achieving PCI compliance on a
cloud server.”
Advenware’s Website SaaS solution allows small to mid-sized companies
develop e-commerce websites quickly and efficiently. To provide a
seamless checkout experience for clients’ buyers, Advenware integrated
CCNow, a Digital River Company, into their SaaS solution. Since offering
customer direct payments, Advenware had to meet the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard PCI DSS to meet PCI DSS compliance.
Working closely with Online Tech’s technical team and their PCI scanning
vendor ASA, Advenware achieved PCI compliancy as a Level 3 Server
Provider in April 2011. The same security methods and procedures that
allowed Online Tech to become a SAS 70 Type II and SSAE
16 data center operator, helped Advenware meet the requirements of
PCI DSS without investing capital costs. This lets Advenware focus
resources on business growth of their eCommerce SaaS website solution.
“By partnering with Online Tech, I have a true technical partner that
offers me the innovation and flexibility needed to grow my business,”
notes Buttram.
