The Key Benefits of Software as a Service
To put it simply Software as a Service (SaaS) has many benefits to any business. Here are the top eight reasons to help build your business case.
Flexibility
This is the one we love the most. You can work from anywhere at any time where you have an internet connection. Most SaaS providers now provide access across different browsers and devices so you can use any of your existing devices. This means your team can be flexible and they can work when it matters.
No Capex
Your CFO will love it as there is no capital expense and you pay only for what you use. Typically on a monthly subscription. This means there is no expensive equipment to purchase up front.
Automatic Updates
Software as a Service means you always have the latest version and the latest features and benefits. You don’t have to worry about running updates or maintaining expensive servers as you are always up to date. You get to focus on running your business and moving forward.
Disaster Recovery
For small businesses it’s hard to invest in highly redundant and setup well thought out contingency plans. This is very expensive and time consuming. Software as a Service (SaaS) allows you to tap into this redundancy and have peace of mind that your data will be safe.
Security
Lost computers and mobile devices are a big problem for businesses where confidential and important data is stored. If those devices are merely a method to access the data on a Software as a Service platform and they are no longer storing data the headache goes away because the data is stored in a safe place on the cloud.
Helps The Environment
Software as a Service is typically delivered from a scalable platform that is shared across many different businesses. This means there is much less hardware wastage resulting in less power usage and a happier planet.
Beat The Competition
