SaaS offers an exciting alternative to the standard software installation in the corporate environment (traditional model), where you need to build the server, install the application and configure it. Instead, applications reside on a remote cloud network, accessible via the Internet or an API, and act as rental property. You and your organization can use it for a period of time and pay for the software you use.
Below are five of the biggest benefits of using SaaS:
1. Reduce usage times
Software as a Service (SaaS) differs from the traditional model in that the software (application) is already installed and configured. You can simply provide the server to an instance in the cloud and within hours your application will be up and running. This reduces installation and configuration time and can reduce issues that prevent software distribution.
2. Cost reduction
SaaS can result in cost savings because it is typically located in a shared or multi-tenant environment where hardware and software licensing costs are low compared to the traditional model.
Another advantage is that you can quickly scale your customer base, as SaaS allows small and medium-sized businesses to use software that they would not otherwise use due to the high licensing costs.
Maintenance costs are also reduced because the SaaS provider owns the environment and is shared between all customers using this solution.
3. Scalability and integration
SaaS solutions typically exist in cloud environments that can be scaled and integrated with other SaaS offerings. Compared to the traditional model, you don't need to buy another server or software. You simply activate a new SaaS offering and in terms of server capacity planning, the SaaS provider will own it. Additionally, you have the flexibility to scale up or down your SaaS usage based on your specific needs.
4. New versions (updates)
With SaaS, the provider updates the solution and becomes available to its customers. The cost and hassle associated with updates and new releases are less than the traditional model, which typically requires you to purchase and install an update package (or pay for specialized services to update your environment).
5. Easy to use and proof of concept
SaaS offerings are easy to use because they already have built-in best practices and examples. Users can perform proof-of-concept and test software functionality or a new release feature in advance. You can also have more than one instance with different versions and migrate seamlessly. Even for large environments, you can use SaaS offerings to test the software before you buy it.
