Learn moreWhat is SaaS+?
SaaS+ stands for ‘Solution as a Service,’ an innovative ERP implementation methodology that goes beyond traditional Software as a Service (SaaS). Unique to TechnologyOne, SaaS+ is an all-inclusive ERP model designed to streamline the implementation process while delivering exceptional results.
Thanks to TechnologyOne’s 38 years of domain expertise, SaaS+ integrates software, support, and upgrades into a single, seamless experience. This means one fixed price, one plan, and one point of accountability. That’s the Power of One.
How is SaaS+ different?
What sets SaaS+ apart from a traditional ERP implementation is its all-inclusive approach.
Through our core belief, ‘The Power of One,’ SaaS+ enables fast, simple, and low-risk digital transformations, significantly reducing risk and implementation time.
There’s one code line, one plan, one price, one point of call.
Unlike competitors, which often require multiple vendors for software, implementation, and ongoing support, TechnologyOne offers a single, unified experience.
With SaaS+, customers avoid the complexity and risk of juggling different partners, ensuring smooth and predictable outcomes. SaaS+ integrates all these elements into a single offering, ensuring accountability and excellence at every stage.
This model provides:
- Simplicity: Pre-configured, industry-specific solutions that reduce complexity and accelerate time to value.
- Accountability: TechnologyOne takes full ownership of the development, implementation and ongoing management of the solution.
- Predictability: One fixed annual fee makes budgeting straightforward, eliminating hidden costs.
That’s the Power of One.

The Power of One is one of TechnologyOne’s core beliefs, and it’s what we are known for.
We do not accept the normal way of doing things: we have a singular source of vision, development, implementation, sales, and support, and take full responsibility for the complete outcome of the solution experience - not just the software.
SaaS+ leverages the Power of One and is a true symbiotic partnership with our customers.
Why SaaS+ is a game-changer
SaaS+ is a reimagining of ERP delivery. It’s time to forget the traditional implementation of our multinational competitors, which is often undertaken by third-party consulting firms or accounting firms and typically takes thousands of days.
At TechnologyOne, we take full responsibility for building, implementing, running, and maintaining the software.
How SaaS+ Solves ERP Pain Points
Say goodbye to the following with SaaS+:
- Lengthy implementation times: SaaS+ delivers pre-configured solutions tailored to your industry, significantly reducing setup time.

Learn moreReal-world impacts of SaaS+
TechnologyOne is the world’s first SaaS+ company. And our goal is to deliver ERP in 30 days within the next five years. This will totally transform our industries, and will enable governments, education providers and more to streamline their businesses like never before.
A recent example is Metropolitan Memorial Parks (MMP): the newly formed government agency in New South Wales, Australia that managed to completely transform its technology systems in just five months, thanks to SaaS+
With SaaS+, MMP consolidated its financial systems across eight major Sydney cemetery locations, reducing costs and enhancing staff accessibility.
“We’ve reduced our software agreements from three finance systems, two procurement systems, and two budgeting systems down to a single SaaS agreement. The savings exceed the initial investment in TechnologyOne,” said Simon Officer, Chief Financial Officer at MMP.
“We took the solution straight out of the box to keep the process simple and efficient, adopting the pre-configured, best-practice solution with minimal modifications as opposed to adapting it to our processes.”
TechnologyOne CEO, Ed Chung, credited Metropolitan Memorial Parks as TechnologyOne’s fastest implementation to date.
“As MMP’s transformation continues, our SaaS+ offering stands as a model for modernising government services with an emphasis on simplicity, efficiency and scalability,” he said.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs): ERP & SaaS+
Need more information? Check out some of TechnologyOne's most frequently asked questions about all things SaaS and ERP.
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software is a system that integrates and manages core business processes such as finance, human resources, supply chain, and customer relationship management into a single platform.
Essentially, there are three different forms of ERP software:
- Software as a Service, or a cloud distribution model (also known as SaaS)
- A licensing model, also known as ‘on-premise’
- A hybrid model
TechnologyOne utilises a SaaS model. Using this model, the software is hosted on the cloud and accessed via the internet. This eliminates the need for on-premise infrastructure, reducing IT overheads and ensuring scalability.
SaaS+ has been delivered with our customers in mind, providing:
- Dramatically improved time to value by providing preconfigured industry solutions and a streamlined implementation approach, ensuring our customers can benefit from a quicker return on their investment.
- A quantified scope, outcome, and approach – reducing the risk of project scope, time or budget overruns.
- Minimises project and organisational risk.
- Enables our customers to innovate faster, allowing them to transform their systems and processes to continuously meet the demands of the communities they serve.
- Security and compliance – reduces the risk of data breaches and non-compliance with relevant regulations. Data is stored locally to meet the UK's regulatory compliance and industry standards.
- Accessibility and mobility – can be accessed on any device, anywhere, at any time.
- We take full responsibility for building, implementing, running and supporting the software.
SaaS+ goes beyond traditional SaaS by including implementation, upgrades, security, and ongoing support in one annual fee. With SaaS+, TechnologyOne takes full accountability for delivering the entire solution experience, not just the software.
The timeframe for ERP implementation varies based on the complexity of the organisation, data migration needs, and customisation requirements. On average, ERP implementation can take around 12 months, with larger-scale implementations taking longer. Some can take over 700 days!
At TechnologyOne, our goal is to get you to ERP in 30 days, drastically decreasing implementation time and improving time to value.
Cloud-based ERP solutions provide flexibility, scalability, and lower upfront costs, as they are hosted by the ERP provider.
On-premise ERP systems, on the other hand, require in-house servers and IT management, offering more control but also higher maintenance responsibilities.
