ANN ARBOR – Advenware, an e-commerce website developer, has chosen to host their Software-as-a-Service 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.
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.
