At OmniSite, we use the cellular network and Internet to deliver data and information about your equipment 24/7, freeing you from the responsibility of procuring, maintaining and supporting systems which are beyond the technical capability of most operators today. Alarm conditions on your systems and equipment are reported immediately via email, phone call, text message, and historical data collected for you and stored in the cloud. With 11 continuous cloud computing years of experience, and holder of two US patents on the subject, OmniSite is an expert in the field.

OmniSite’s cloud computing customers do not own the physical communications and Internet infrastructure, instead they avoid capital expenditure by renting usage from OmniSite. The customer purchases the data collectors or RTUs (remote terminal units) and then consume cellular and Internet resources as a service and pay only for resources that they use on a monthly or yearly subscription basis. Sharing "perishable and intangible" computing power among multiple tenants improve utilization rates, as servers are not unnecessarily left idle (which reduce costs significantly while increasing the speed of application development). A side-effect of this approach is that overall computer usage rises dramatically, as customers do not have to engineer for peak load limits. In addition, "increased high-speed bandwidth" makes it possible to receive the same response times from centralized infrastructure at other sites.

Cloud computing users avoid capital expenditure (CapEx) on hardware, software, and services when they pay a provider only for what they use. Consumption is billed on a subscription (time-based, like a newspaper) basis with little or no upfront cost other than the procurement of the data collectors, or RTUs (remote terminal units) themselves. Other benefits of this time sharing-style approach are low barriers to entry, shared infrastructure and costs, low management overhead, and immediate access to a broad range of applications. Users can terminate the contract at any time (thereby avoiding return on investment risk and uncertainty), and the services are covered by service level agreements (SLAs) without financial penalties.

Users are able to rapidly and inexpensively re-provision technological infrastructure resources.

Cost is greatly reduced and capital expenditure is converted to operational expenditure.

Users can access systems using a web browser regardless of their location or what device they are using (e.g., PC, mobile).

Infrastructure may be located in areas with lower costs (such as real estate, electricity, etc.)

Peak-load capacity increases (users need not engineer for highest possible load-levels)

Utilization and efficiency is improved for systems that are often only 10–20% utilized.

Greater reliability, business continuity, and disaster recovery through redundant sites.

Scalability via "on-demand" provisioning of resources,if a customer owns one OmniSite RTU today and adds 1000 more in 6 years, the system will automatically scale to their needs.

Security is improved due to centralization of data and OmniSite's ability to devote resources to solving security issues.

Ease of maintenance and support of cloud computing applications, OmniSite deploys new features and updates as part of customer service agreements.
