XCoSports has become the first company in Bulgaria to use ERP (enterprise resource planning) system Atlantis ERP under a monthly subscription model, i. e. as SaaS (software as a service). The application works on servers that are physically located and maintained at the data center of Balkan Services – the developer and the integrator of the system. “Both in sport and business it is very important to use the best and the latest technology possible. We chose the SaaS model because it allows us to focus on our business and invest in it, instead of buying licenses and servers and developing IT skills,” noted Darina Todorova, head of XcoSports. “In the future, the companies that use licenses under the SaaS model will be as many as the firms buying cars on leasing,” Balkan Services manager Philip Mutafis projected. “Right now we are executing a project under Operational program “Competitiveness” which will let us offer this service on larger scale.”
