Software as a service (or SaaS) is a complete software solution that helps you connect and use cloud-based apps from anywhere through the internet. In this era where everything goes online and work location has become highly flexible, SaaS frees you from complex software and hardware management and allows you to work from any location. All you need is an active Internet connection.
SaaS highly supports businesses since their products are extremely budget-friendly thus making even the sophisticated enterprise applications affordable. Unlike traditional software models where you must pay licensing fee upfront, you can avail of SaaS on a pay-per-use basis or on a subscription basis which helps in saving a lot of money since you have to pay only for what you actually use.
No Maintenance
Another great advantage of SaaS is the reduced maintenance cost. SaaS does not require any extensive hardware to be installed since the provider owns the environment. This saves us the installation cost as well as the maintenance cost for the hardware. So, all you need to pay is for the service you use, you do not have to worry about the hardware, server maintenance, data backup, or data storage.
Work from anywhere
SaaS apps can be accessed from anywhere via an internet-connected computer or a mobile device. This helps you to mobilize your workforce. Since the apps are already accessible from any device, we do not have to manage the compatibility issues as well. Thus, giving the user the flexibility to choose his work location and the device, thereby resulting in productivity. Since all data will be stored in the cloud the data remains independent from the device, hence avoiding data loss on hardware failures. One more concern that arises with the flexible work environment is data security. A trusted and carefully chosen SaaS provider ensures data security regardless of the device used. The company or the user is required to choose a SaaS vendor that provides strong privacy regulations and a data security contract.
Scalable as per your need
Since SaaS resides in the cloud environment, it has the flexibility to scale up and down based on the requirement. The organization does not have to upgrade the hardware frequently as this is managed by the SaaS provider. This allows the organization to adapt accordingly to meet the customers escalating needs and pay only for the service features they use.
