  14. Abra SQL Proposal Tuning vs. Ultipro SaaS <500ee Opportunities Hosting Understand importance of hosted/SaaS to prospect. Ultipro is always SaaS. Include nGenX hosting service in proposal (perhaps as option) Implementation Target standard implementation at 40% of license + 1st year support Call out advanced/custom & on-site work separately on implementation – show the additional value Match Abra capabilities to customer needs Are all the modules needed? (Ultipro does not unbundle core) Are 5 network seats needed? (Most <500ee customers only require 1-2). This will reduce license, support & hosting costs How important is tax filing service? Ultipro is limited. If need is extensive/important you may need to propose Abra Suite) 1st year outlay a key driver for customer? Consider financing license/implementation over 3 years (KEF) Total cost of ownership Emphasize total costs over 3+ years (high SaaS costs NEVER END) Customization & Flexibility Abra can be customized (customers have their own Abra – SaaS is shared) Customer can host additional applications at small incremental hosting costs (customers have their own dedicated Abra hosting resources)
