MiTek’s BuilderMT & Sales Simplicity Announce Their Latest Technology Development: Sales Simplicity Azure

MiTek’s® BuilderMT and Sales Simplicity today jointly announced their latest technology development: Sales Simplicity will soon be running native in Microsoft Azure.

Sales Simplicity has long been a cloud-based solution, but now, through Microsoft Azure, Sales Simplicity offers true enterprise capability, ranging from big data analytics and support of hybrid (cloud / on-premises) environments, to scalability that can handle more than tens of thousands of simultaneous users. Azure also allows Sales Simplicity to assign more CPU, RAM, and drive space “at the turn of a dial” to address customer needs. Plus, since every customer is essentially on their own server, there are no resource constraints when delivering the full power of Sales Simplicity.

With Sales Simplicity Azure, users can also access integration expertise from Microsoft certified support partners, in addition to the professional services teams from BuilderMT and Sales Simplicity.

Since Azure is Windows-based, users can write applications in programming languages used for Windows apps (Visual Basic, C++, and C#) or use tools like Visual Studio or ASP.NET. Azure also supports so-called open standards, such as HTTP and XML.

Home builders who had been hosting Sales Simplicity on their own servers, or home builders new to Sales Simplicity, can now experience dramatic cost avoidance on IT infrastructure by simply accessing Sales Simplicity through a browser, but with the security assurances offered by Microsoft.

“Sales Simplicity continues to win new customers among the very largest home builders, and these customer demand true enterprise-class cloud computing, which is what we now offer with Sales Simplicity Azure,” said Rico Rodriguez, Sales Simplicity’s General Manager.

This news about Azure follows the announcement of the MiTek Builder Technology Summit, which will feature a wide range of educational/training sessions, as well as technology demonstrations. The Summit will feature MiTek’s builder-focused companies and software platforms, including BuilderMT, Cubit, DIY Technologies, Sales Simplicity, SAPPHIRE Supply, SAPPHIRE® Build (KOVA), and Wrightsoft, as well as integration partner-companies linked to MiTek solutions, including Avid Ratings, CG Visions, Build Intelligence (DOMO), Event 1 Software (Liberty Reports), LandDev, Punchlist Manager / Inspection Manager, Specitup, and Western Computer. The MiTek Builder Technology Summit will be held at the Naples Beach and Golf Hotel, in Naples Florida, September 19-22, 2017. Learn more: www.MiTekBuilderTechnologySummit.com
