Accellos Announces Cloud Managed Service for AccellosOne Enterprise 3PL

Supply chain execution software maker Accellos Inc. announced it has launched a new cloud managed service for its AccellosOne Enterprise 3PL product.

AccellosOne Enterprise 3PL will deliver its services using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. The new service, sold on a subscription basis, allows the provisioning of computing infrastructure required to run the software, system and database and administration services and technical support, company officials said.

The managed service offering will be made available to existing and new customers running Accellos' 3PL management software.

Additionally, it allows the 3PL to align its revenue and expense, because you don't have large capital investment for expensive server hardware with the cloud."
