Serena Software goes SaaS.

During this year Serena Software will be providing three solutions via Software as a Service (SaaS)--Serena[R] Mariner[R] (Project and Portfolio Management), Serena Business Mashups, and Agile Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools. SaaS can provide benefits for companies with no infrastructure to manage, no software to install, faster time to value, subscription pricing, better support, and immediate access to upgrades as they become available.

Serena Mariner First Product to Go SaaS In the first of many steps Serena will make one of its key offerings, Serena Mariner, available on demand within the next 30 days. Named a Leader in Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) tools by Forrester[1], Serena Mariner provides total visibility into project status and metrics to ensure the right people are on the right projects at the right time, ultimately delivering more value to the business. With prices starting as low as $18 per user per month, Serena Mariner gives business people a way to manage projects quickly and easily without creating unwieldy spreadsheets in Excel. All Serena products delivered via SaaS will have published pricing and discount schedules.
