Why To Go The SaaS Way?

On-demand is in demand. It is a new economy of sharing the resources. You can call a taxi using Uber app; the food startups are also the fine example of on-demand economy, which is shaping the way we interact with businesses. 

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications are on-demand software, which are shared by other users and applications. These are centrally hosted and licensed on a subscription based model.  

Why SaaS?

1.       It frees the users (or enterprises) from overhead costs required to secure and maintain hardware (server) and software. The SaaS users can access any SaaS application at any time and all they need is an Internet connection.

2.       SaaS applications, when used by enterprises, makes it easier for IT staff to monitor and manage data usage and privileges. Any edits made in the information can be quickly accessed by all the employees, no matter what their physical location is.

3.       Although there have been a lot of talks around the security related issues of cloud, SaaS applications are time-tested solutions and are getting widely adopted and improved upon. The data can be easily stored without the worry of someone accessing it without the required privileges.

4.       SaaS model emphasizes on the ease-of-use. It is point-and-click easy to customize the software in contrast to traditional business software that demanded a great deal of time and money for making the customizations possible.

There is no denying the fact that SaaS applications are cost-effective, easily manageable, and allows a better access. It is easily scalable, thanks to pay-for-subscription or on-demand model. Reducing dependency on local server allows stakeholders, including employees, to be connected and hence be productive on the move.
