Cutting overheads with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

Firms are rapidly turning to SaaS because it’s a more efficient and flexible way to buy software. The traditional model has served the IT industry well but not customers; the cycle has gone something like this:-

• Buy the application licenses, a server, a place to run it, get some training - or hire someone, installation, configuration, backups, upgrades, maintenance – the list never ends.
• Costs are largely up front with unpredictable peaks when upgrades are required.
• The application isn’t reliable because you don’t have time to manage it like a specialist.
• Software goes out of date and becomes a block to efficiency not an enabler.
• 3 or 4 years later repeat the whole exercise.

Compare the difference with SaaS:

• Choose the number of users and the applications they need. Get expert assistance with deployment so you are up and running in days not months. Manage it through a simple web portal.
• No upfront costs. Fixed monthly payment and user numbers that can be changed whenever you need.
• 99.9% service availability, maintained 24/7 by experts to the highest possible standards.
• Always be using the latest version of software.
• Lower overall cost.

Not a difficult choice is it? Instead of struggling with delivering Email and mandatory services like IT security, you can buy them on demand as you would utilities like electricity or water. This can free up IT resources for projects that help build your business and really add value.
