What is SaaS - Software as a Service? Should you have one?

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a licensing and delivery model,  where software is licensed on a subscription basis and is hosted by the software provider from online servers run and maintained by them. Users access SaaS software through a web browser or a small standalone application. 


Saas For Business


SaaS vendors supply and maintain the products, either on a subscription basis or on a pay-for-what-you-use basis. The vendor makes sure that the product/service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year and customers just access and use the software. 


SaaS benefits:

Lower implementation costs - as the vendor provides and runs the service, both its software and hardware parts, the up-front implementation costs are low.

Day-to-day costs are predictable - with experts managing the software and security, the risks involved come down drastically. Vendors are better positioned to provide for all types of risks. Capital expenses become operational expenses.

Rapid Deployment - as vendors have fully tested out versions of the software, an organization can select the service or services, and be up and running literally within hours, rather than the months it would have taken the old fashioned way.

Scalability on demand - because it is a service, SaaS can be scaled up or down as per the customer’s demands and they pay only for the services used.


SaaS capabilities:

Business solutions interconnectivity - all business processes can be interconnected and optimized, giving a holistic view of the whole business.

Analytics built-in - with real-time data access, and quality analytics built-in, expensive and time-consuming data collection and analysis costs are avoided.

Flexible update paths - as the vendor maintains everything, multiple update paths can be discussed in advance, and if necessary, implemented quickly.

Portability of data - SaaS allows high-volume data to be moved/shared with ease, allowing for rapid business decisions.

Personalization - the software can be very specific to the needs of the customer and not just an off-the-shelf version. 


So, Yes! Moving towards SaaS is very highly recommended, preferably one provided by a reputed provider like Jaivam Life. As a software development and digital transformation consultancy, with an experienced team of professionals, we can design, test, and implement the best SaaS for an organization.
