2012

Rentsoft supports open SaaS APS packaged solutions. Application Packaging Standard (APS) is a set of specifications and that make it API easier to sell Solutions SaaS on Internet and hosting provider storefronts. The international APS standard is an open and independent organization that allows developers ON and cloud operators not only to use the standard, but also to participate in its development. Of the Russian developers, he has already been supported by such companies and projects as "," SKB Kontur"," UMI"," Megaplan"," "Video conference and Bitrix others. The application of APS within the Rentsoft platform allows developers to significantly simplify the process of adding Solutions SaaS to this platform, already packaged according to the APS standard in the "APS External Connector" mode.

In practice, the procedure for using APS is as follows:

• The developer of the Solution SaaS forms a package for his web application according to the APS standard. Many developers have already passed this path and registered their product in the public directory of APS applications: http://apsstandard.org/applications.
• The developer adds his web application to the Rentsoft platform by filling out a simple form directly in his personal account on the site http://rentsoft.ru.
• After testing the Solution SaaS conducted by Rentsoft, 4 million subscribers of 123 Internet providers who connected the Rentsoft platform receive the opportunity to subscribe to a new product. Payment is made monthly from a single subscriber account, in addition to paying for the Internet.

2011

On August 24, 2011, Rentsoft launched a service for developers of online ("cloud") SaaS projects. When connected to the platform, the "cloud" project gains access to the accounts of personal accounts of more than 3 million subscribers from the Rentsoft partner network (60 large Russian Internet providers). Debits for the SaaS service are included in the same monthly payment that the user already pays for the Internet from his provider. This is very effective, since the subscriber's account often contains unspent balances of funds that he can send to pay for the new service.

The new Rentsoft service allows the owner of a cloud Solution SaaS (for example, web CRM) to independently connect his service to the platform using a simple software API and step-by-step instructions. Integration makes it possible to use the payment system of the platform, in particular, to provide your solution to a wide audience of users of the Rentsoft partner network.

Subscription buyers are mainly subscribers of large Internet providers (providers connect to Rentsoft when organizing an additional service "Subscription to" ON for their subscribers: in the spring-summer of 2011, about 45 providers were integrated, and in total there are 60 of them on the platform, including:,,,, etc Akado NetByNet InterZet Ufanet.) There is also a separate store independent of providers, a Поподписке.ру where automatic micro-recordings are made from a credit card, e-wallet or even a customer's mobile phone account.

Rentsoft sells subscriptions to both individuals and legal entities (with the necessary document management). The platform already contains software in the following categories: antiviruses, games, security, dictionaries and text work, accounting. Thanks to integration with cloud vendors, Rentsoft plans to expand the line of software designed primarily for corporate clients of small and medium-sized businesses: CRM systems, project management systems, online accounting, services for conducting webinars, etc.

"The model of selling software, both" cloud "and downloaded, is confidently shifting towards the SaaS scheme. It is important for us that users are not limited in their choice of subscription software. We have already placed installed software on the platform, well known to most PC users; it's time to host the popular web-based software. I am sure that the owners of SaaS services will be interested in providing their web systems to subscribers of our partner providers, because this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, "says Makarov Ivan, commercial director of Rentsoft

2010

In August 2010 ON , the most popular software company "" 1C was added to antivirus (from 999 rubles/month), as well as (Microsoft Office from 1100 rubles/month, corporate version). You can subscribe to these products on the Поподписке.ру service, as well as on the partner windows.

As noted, the expansion of the software catalog became possible thanks to the establishment of partnerships between Rentsoft and Office24. "Office 24 specializes in providing access to 1C and Microsoft Office products. Cooperation with Rentsoft is an additional and effective way to expand the audience of users of the software we offer, "said Roman Lysov, CEO of Office24.

After subscribing, the client gets round-the-clock access to the "cloud" versions of "1C" and MS Office from any computer connected to the Internet. There is no need for initial investments: the company pays only a monthly subscription fee, which already includes a license for 1C and Microsoft Office, regular updates, rental of high-performance equipment, data backup, the work of a system administrator, Rentsoft noted. Special attention is paid to safety: customer information is physically stored in an industrial data center with an increased level of protection. All information when working via the Internet is transmitted in encrypted form via a secure channel: a similar encryption scheme with a public and private key, according to the company, is used by banks in bank-client systems.

It is noteworthy that visually for the user, working with the "cloud" version of "1C" is almost no different from working with the local "1C: Accounting." Although the program itself is running in the "cloud" on a remote server, the user sees its window on his computer and can work with it, as with any other Windows window emphasized in Rentsoft. Additionally, the "remote desktop" mode is also supported.
