Now offers Factory Explorer® discrete-event simulation software via the Cloud
March 8, 2018 (Pleasanton, CA) –Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. (WWK) (www.wwk.com), the global leader in cost and productivity management software and consulting services, announced today that it has transitioned its Factory Explorer® discrete-event simulation package to software as a service (SaaS) on Microsoft’s Azure Cloud. This represents the first step in a complete conversion of WWK’s products to the Cloud.
“We have spent the last two years looking at ways to make our software more accessible to our clients and prospective clients” states David W. Jimenez, WWK’s President & CEO. “By moving Factory Explorer® to the Cloud, we are able to offer more attractive pricing while providing cross-platform functionality. This opens the door to customers using both Windows and non-Windows-based hardware while maintaining complete data compatibility between users. It also allows our customers to specify higher computing power than exists on their local hardware; thus, reducing their information technology (IT) cost of ownership (COO).”
Microsoft Azure allows WWK’s software to run across multiple hardware platforms by either using Remote Desktop Services (RDS) or any HTML5 compatible browser. All users, regardless of their local hardware and operating system (OS), will have the same desktop user experience.
