Why You Should Consider Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Over On-Premises Software Systems
Extremely rapid deployment - With SaaS you can be up-and-running in days – not weeks or months like on-premises solutions. Users are quick to adopt SaaS applications so your time-to-value will be much faster with a SaaS solution.
No installation necessary - SaaS requires no hardware, no software and no additional network infrastructure. You only need a Web browser and an Internet connection to use a SaaS application.
Complete solutions - Typically, all necessary components of a SaaS solution (like document management and workflow) are pre-integrated. There is no need to pay for additional modules or expensive and time-consuming integration services.
Low cost - SaaS is delivered as a pay-as-you-go subscription. Combined with the savings in hardware, administration and professional services, the total cost of a SaaS implementation is typically only 20 to 35 percent of on-premises software.
Low risk - Simply choose not to renew the services agreement at the end of the initial term if a SaaS provider can’t meet your needs. Most service agreements cover a one-year period. Additionally, SaaS providers will give you a free trial period, allowing you to configure your solution and try it before making the purchase commitment.
Easy to administer - SaaS solutions are usually administered by someone in the business unit, not by IT staff. Because there is no software to install or hardware to maintain, administering a SaaS solution usually consists of simple configuration and user-access management.
Easy to use - SaaS applications are always built with the mindset of getting users productive as soon as possible. Top-notch SaaS applications should include an intuitive Web interface, easy configuration steps and a quick tutorial that gets users familiar with the system in minutes.
Easy to integrate - Thanks to robust Web services, SaaS solutions fit nicely into, or alongside, other business applications. Often, the document management and workflow features can be invoked from within a different application, meaning users aren’t required to learn a new system to take advantage of the added capabilities.
Satisfied customers - All the above SaaS advantages culminate in happy end-users and administrators. In fact, an annual survey conducted by THINKstrategies and Cutter Consortium revealed a remarkable 100 percent satisfaction rate among companies that use on-demand software, particularly SaaS solutions.
