Providing AtoMx as a SaaS application allows NanoString customers to analyze, store, and compute data on the cloud as opposed to hosting analysis in-house or locally on someone’s computer hard drive. The AtoMx platform runs on an industry leading life science cloud computing service.      The SaaS delivery model enables the NanoString Software Team to seamlessly push new software features and services in the future without the need for any manual software updates. Additionally, it allows easy access to AtoMx for those customers who do not own a NanoString spatial instrument via a subscription model without having to purchase individual software licenses.
