Dorado has been delivering Software as a Service (SaaS) to financial service enterprises for over 10 years. The company's core SaaS networked architecture was first implemented at a client site in 1999 and is currently running at major banks throughout the United States, and is currently being implemented in Canada. It is not just the fact that Dorado provides a SaaS platform, but that its particular ingenuity within the SaaS model that creates business value and sets its networked solutions apart.

The Benefits of SaaS

Dorado's engineering and customer support teams are SaaS experts who have created and implemented the highest quality of SaaS networked architectures within highly complex institutions. The benefits include:

Reliability. The technology for Dorado's network is delivered from multiple, state-of-the-art, tier-1 data centers. All of our hosting processes, procedures, and facilities are regularly audited by independent third party experts, and are SAS-70 Level II attested.

Flexibility. Institutions have a full range of services to select from when they use Dorado's networked service. Banks can choose the capabilities they want and select the third party providers they wish to connect with. They also have a breadth of choice in configuration and functionality, which means they never have to take on services that don't fit their business needs, or have to retrofit inappropriate functionality against their actual work processes. Dorado's services can be tailored to match each particular institution's work flow.

Availability. Dorado has a record of keeping customers open for business over 99% of the time. All components are monitored 7x24x365, to make sure they are available at any time, from anywhere. Customers have access to live monitoring and performance data through the DoradoNet portal. Availability also means access to all of the partners, service providers, and third party resources you need, when you need them. Dorado monitors the vital links created for you in the network, and ensures the connection between you and these resources is always available.

Scalability. Even as your business grows, your service is delivered at peak performance. We perform on-going capacity planning to ensure minimum latency and maximum performance, regardless of the load your business is putting on it. And your first transaction won't cost millions of dollars either. You pay for what you use today, on demand.

Predictabilty. The cost of your Dorado service is never a mystery, and never a risk. You always know the level of service you are guaranteed, and the exact price for that service. There aren't the usual "unexpected emergencies" you face with the software and networks you manage yourself. Dorado eliminates this risk.

However, it is Dorardo's innovation within the SaaS model that sets the company's patented solutions apart. In addition to the core benefits of any SaaS system – flexibility, relatively fast time-to-market with minimal capital expenditures, and scalability – Dorado's patented technology enables it to offer SaaS solutions that enable real-time, multi-party collaboration amongst both internal and external entities. This unique capability provides financial institutions with a more transparent process that enables more accurate data processing, with a system to better analyze file data, and with the ability to track and report on specific information.

Dorado's Patented Technology Platform

Underlying Dorado's SaaS applications is a robust PaaS or Platform-as-as-a-Service networked architecture, first implemented at a client site in 1999 and currently running at major banks throughout the United States and Canada. This wholly internet-based platform enables Dorado to create solutions that are flexible and modular in nature, enabling the creation of applications that work well with existing legacy systems, while also providing a framework for integration into a financial institution's overall service-oriented architecture, virtualization, and cloud computing initiatives.

The Distinctive Benefits of Dorado's Software as a Service Model

The real power behind Dorado's success delivering network as a service is not just in our facilities, or our patented technology, or our best practice operations, or even our leadership position in the industry. The strength of Dorado comes from our commitment to our customers. That commitment is at the heart of everything we do, and how we do it.

Dorado's ability to deliver its Network as a Service is defined by a long and proven track record of consistent high performance and fuliflled promises. You don't need to take our word for it; we offer a highly mature Service Level Agreement (as defined by ISACA) that guarantees it.
