CARSON CITY, Nev. – Affiliate management and tracking software MPA3 is migrating to the Software as a Service model, meaning installations will be hosted on a central server instead of on clients’ machines. New clients automatically will use SaaS installations. Existing clients will be moved to the new hosted model at no charge as developer Mansion Productions phases out standalone installations.

SaaS software deployment is common in the mainstream. More companies migrate to the model almost daily, thanks to the vigor and popularity of “cloud computing.” Among the companies already employing SaaS are SalesForce, Quickbooks and Microsoft.

“Managing cost for affiliate programs today is the key to success,” a Mansion Productions spokesperson said. “With this new SAAS version of MPA3, we are pushing the envelope even further to assist programs that want to stay lean and competitive by offering a combination of MPA3 software and hosting in one elegant, hosted solution.”

The SaaS version of MPA3 will be managed by Red Apple Media, a hosting company with which Mansion formed a strategic alliance in July.

“We have had great pleasure working with [Red Apple] on this and other projects,” the Mansion spokesperson said. “Red Apple Media is an established cloud hosting, video streaming and site development provider, specializing in rich media content delivery for the adult entertainment world. [The company] is intimately familiar with MPA3 and other Mansion Productions products, and has been offering MPA3 and MAS [another Mansion product] hosting services to clients small and large.”

According to a Mansion statement, the benefits of switching to a hosted MPA3 solution include:

• No installation necessary.
• Ready to start setting program within hours after purchase.
• No dedicated server, thereby saving hosting costs.
• Automatic updates to new versions of software.
• One master installation.
• Automatic bug fixes.
• Automatic billing.
• Load-balanced and secure hosting of affiliate program.
• Easy-to-use interface for all program setups.
• Fixed price.
