Maintenance users have historically purchased licensed software; requiring them to buy, build, and maintain expensive IT infrastructures.
Software as a Service offers a better alternative and a way to subscribe to services built on a shared infrastructure via the Internet.
Here are just some of the many benefits of the SaaS model:
High Adoption Rates
SaaS applications are available from any computer or any device—any time, anywhere. Because most people are familiar
with using the Internet to find what they need, SaaS apps tend to have high adoption rates with a lower learning curve.
Saves
You Money
SaaS applications are subscription based. No license fees mean lower initial costs. Having the SaaS provider manage the
IT infrastructure means lower IT costs for hardware, software, and the people needed to manage it all.
Easy Upgrades
Because
the SaaS provider manages all updates and upgrades, there are no patches for customers to download or install. The SaaS provider also
manages availability, so there’s no need for customers to add hardware, software, or bandwidth as the user base grows.
Ease of
Integration
SaaS vendors with true multitenant architectures can scale to meet customer demand. As a true SaaS provider we also offer
customization capabilities to meet specific needs. Plus, we provide APIs that let you integrate with existing ERP systems or other
business productivity systems.
It's Popular with Organizations of All Sizes
The popularity of SaaS is steadily increasing because
it simplifies deployment and reduces customer acquisition costs. As a SaaS developer, we can support many customers with a single
version of our product. This approach, called multitenancy, allows our customers to scale as fast and as much as needed without a
dramatic increase in cost.
It's Popular with IT
A recent survey of a thousand IT professionals by Forrester Research found that
they are turning to hosted (SaaS) products as a way to offload management of non-mission-critical applications. Plus, the subscription-based
SaaS pricing model can keep IT budget costs consistent or lower than packaged or homegrown software.
