Software as a Service
Focus on Your Core Business
Is IT
expertise a critical success
factor for your business?
Unless you are a technology
company the answer should be
NO! What most
businesses need is the
capability to automate business
processes to improve the
efficiency of their staff and
their value chain.
Software as a service (SaaS,
typically pronounced 'Sass') is
a model of software deployment
that allows you to focus on your
core business and not on keeping
up with the latest hardware and
software technology. By
outsourcing to an expert in the
application and the underlying
technology, you can focus on
using the latest tools to
improve your business.
Software as a
Service Defined
Software
as a service is a model of
software deployment where an
application is hosted as a
service and provided to
customers across the Internet.
By eliminating the need to
install and run the application
on the customer's own computer,
SaaS alleviates the customer's
burden of software maintenance,
ongoing operation, and support.
The key characteristics of SaaS
software, according to 2005
IDC
whitepaper include:
·
network-based
access to, and management
of, commercially available
software
·
activities
that are managed from
central locations rather
than at each customer's
site, enabling customers to
access applications remotely
via the Web
·
application
delivery that typically is
closer to a one-to-many
model than to a one-to-one
model, including
architecture, pricing,
partnering, and management
characteristics
·
centralized
feature updating, which
obviates the need for
downloadable patches and
upgrades.
