software as a service
Software as a Service ( SaaS ) is a software distribution model that provides access to software and its functions remotely as a Web-based service. Software as a Service allows organizations to access business functionality at a cost typically less than paying for licensed applications since SaaS pricing is based on a monthly fee. Also, because the software is hosted in the cloud, users don't need to invest in additional hardware and their infrastructures. Software as a Service removes the need for organizations to handle the installation, set-up and often daily upkeep and maintenance. It may also be referred to as simply hosted applications.
SaaS is scalable, saves operational costs, reduces deployment times & increases overall IT productivity
Benefits of SaaS:
01SaaS applications are available from any computer, tablet, smart phone 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. All you need is a web browser and internet access, and you're ready to go. Whereas traditional software can take weeks or even months to deploy, SaaS solutions don't require anything to be installed and so you are able to access your new software immediately.
02When delivering business applications via SaaS, the complexity of the underlying IT infrastructure is all handled by us. Companies do not need to worry about the maintenance of hardware, or which operating system version supports which database - we will take care of all of this for you.
03Being familiar with traditional software, you will know that unless a costly automated solution has been implemented, the process of backing up your data on a weekly basis can be laborious at the best of times. SaaS solutions eradicate this painstaking task, instigating automatic backups without user intervention and thus ensuring the integrity of your data.
04With the only need of an internet connection, SaaS solutions can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Users are able to access their data and work more effficiently from anywhere.
