“SaaS” is an acronym for
“Software-as-a-Service”. "SaaS" is a part of an evolutionary
move towards using the web to cut out any location dependence
and is the beginning of a new way of interacting and doing
business.
|
With “SaaS” the software runs on our central servers
connected to high-speed data storage |
The servers are located in a secure fire/earthquake safe
data-center where there is redundancy for power and internet. |
High-data security including firewall & anti-virus protection,
daily data backup. |
99.5% server uptime. |
24 hour access to your information from anywhere in the world. |
All backup, anti-virus, database management and system
administration is handled by us. |
SaaS applications require minimal upfront capital investment.
- No hardware purchase including Servers, UPS, fire-wall.
-
No software purchase including Operating System, Database
Management, Anti-Virus.
- Reduced burden on the IT department.
-
SaaS software can reduce the cost of ownership by up to 40%
compared to traditional deployments (McKinsey 2006).
|
SaaS also has predictable subscription pricing, which
simplifies budgeting and forecasting. |
Fast, easy implementation and lower TCO (Total Cost of
Ownership) and you have an unbeatable business proposition. |
As your business requirements change, you can easily "turn on"
new features and quickly add more users. This "just right"
approach stimulates
wider user adoption because it avoids overloading users
with irrelevant functionality. |
SaaS is rapidly gaining acceptance because of the increased
focus to deliver value. Why should a company expend resources
installing and
maintaining software that does not provide any
competitive advantage? It is far easier and more efficient to
outsource the headaches associated with
keeping track of software compatibility, malware
updates, application patches, license management etc. |
