Accessibility has
soared by switching to a 'Software as a Service' delivery model
Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced 'sass') is a
model of software deployment where an application is hosted as
a service 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.
Here
are some of the outstanding accessibility benefits that our
clients are now experiencing:
-
Our software will deliver via a
host of different web browsers independent
of the clients primary
operating system.
-
The client users will now have full access to a secure logon
to our software 24/7, enabling around the clock access.
-
Access via a secure
login is possible from any location across the globe.
-
Our software will function independent from any Managed
Operating Environment. (MOE).
-
The lead time from registration to full
function and availability is significantly reduced
to days instead of weeks.
-
Our clients will get new features, improvements and
upgrades all the time, as they happen - not at
roll-out intervals.
-
Our SaaS provider conducts daily back-ups with offsite
archives of weekly and monthly
backups.
Using SaaS also can conceivably reduce that up-front expense of
software purchases, through less costly, on-demand pricing.
The SaaS
software is handled by a third-party application service
provider (ASP). This way, end users may reduce their
investment
on server hardware.

Further
Benefits to our clients include:
-
You do not require dedicated or shared server hardware
and associated software licensing.
-
You do not require in-house technical support to
install, update or manage the software application.
-
Centralized updating, which obviates the need
to download patches and upgrades.
-
Any changes, improvements or fixes affect all of our clients at the
exact same time.
-
The centralised location means that our software
development team can write and
implement enhancements very quickly.
-
Our development team can now
produce new units, additions or amendments can be offered with a very
low lead time.
-
The benefits of new enhancements
can be experienced as soon as
the new feature is added to the software application.
-
The data centre hosting our SaaS maintains the highest level
of data and building security.
-
A small monthly subscription fee is paid instead of a lump
sum payment at the start of the year.
-
During power outages, an onsite power generator will support
our data centre at full capacity for 24 hours.
-
24 hour Management provides fully automated,
password-protected, web-based administration.
Key characteristics
The key characteristics of SaaS software include:
SaaS applications are generally priced on a per-user basis or a
flat per month rate.
SaaS revenue streams to the vendor are
therefore lower initially than traditional software license
fees, but are also recurring,
and therefore viewed as more
predictable, much like maintenance fees for licensed software.
The present or "standard" way to use business applications
often will mean buying extra hardware just to run
the software.
Then you are left to run the applications from
your server, manage the hardware and software yourself, and
panicking whenever
an upgrade or patch needs to be made.
With SaaS, all you need to do is pay a monthly rental or
subscription fee, log-on to the application and start work.
The SaaS provider manages the hardware and
updates the software. The point to be clear on here is that the SaaS solution
only needs to update one server - any changes, affect all the customers.
SaaS solution
users get new feature upgrades all the time.
Analysts claim that by 2010, 30% of new software will be
delivered via an SAAS model.
Variously termed "on-demand software," the "ASP model" or
"hosted software," SAAS involves renting Web-based software
hosted at the provider's site. For many companies large and
small, SAAS is the best way to roll out new technology.
