Software as a Service

Software as a Service is a big win.

Tired of constantly upgrading your software, keeping servers running and paying out big bucks for support?  So is everyone else.  That's why SaaS has become the solution for businesses big and small.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a new Web-based model for software licensing, delivery and support.  Salesforce.com was one of the first and most famous of these, but now it is everywhere.  It is the logical result of three things.

1. The ubiquity of the Internet

2. The ever increasing complexity of software

3. The proliferation of devices we all use for both

In this new world, maintaining desktop software, office servers and all that junk just does not make sense.  Anything you install becomes obsolete within a few years and takes constant maintenance just to keep working!

With SaaS solutions, you get the software, but it is a service delivered over the Internet.  The bottom line for businesses is the following.

1.  It costs less to purchase and maintain.

2. You can access it anywhere (home, office, on your phone, whatever)

3. You don't have to worry about upgrades or support.

That's why we, when evaluating your needs, we always look first to see if a leading SaaS solution will do what you need.   Sometimes, you're particular business and process is too specialized.  That's when building applications from scratch makes sense - which is where Open Source Software comes in.
