Monday, August 9th, 2010

These past few months, we have been focusing on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions being launched. The main questions being asked (which we shall answer) is: What is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) an what are its benefits?

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has its origins in cloud computing. Cloud computing gets its name from the drawings typically used to describe the Internet. Cloud computing is a new consumption and delivery model for IT services. The concept of cloud computing represents a shift in thought, in that end users need not know the details of a specific technology. The service is fully managed by the provider. Users can consume services at a rate that is set by their particular needs. This on-demand service can be provided at any time.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model is designed to provide everything and simply rent out the software to the user. The service is usually provided through some type of front end or web portal. While the end user is free to use the service from anywhere, the company pays a per use fee.

  1. Save money: SaaS requires minimal upfront costs, as you pay only for what you use. It helps to reduce physical and financial resources.
  2. Minimal Risk: You’ll sleep easier at night knowing that your systems are always available and secure for your users. Your cost base is predictable and if the system fails you’ll be able to recover it. SaaS offers a Try-Before-You-Buy option where users can sign up and use the application before making the decision to purchase.
  3. Concentrate resources on the business, not IT: With SaaS, you will concentrate on using capital funds in areas where they improve and add value to your business and not on IT infrastructure and maintenance.
  4. Use it whenever, wherever you are: So long as you have access to the internet, you can access the service from the office, on holiday, on the road. With SaaS your Multi-site businesses can be supported at no extra cost.
  5. Rapid deployment, configuration and integration: SaaS offers rapid deployment, configuration and integration of the software for your present and future needs.

These are just a few of the benefits you will derive when you use our SaaS solutions for your business. Contact Mauco Internet Consultants if you have further questions or queries or need a live demonstration.
