Software as a Service

Software As A Service (SaaS) is a new business model made possible by the efficiencies of the internet.

A New Business Model

With SaaS, your business can utilise best-of-breed software from virtually anywhere without incurring high setup costs both in terms of time and resource.

Traditionally, business applications are held within expensive server rooms full of costly hardware and highly qualified IT staff.  When your business needs more capacity, you often have to upgrade hardware and suffer critical business process downtime.  Expensive backup and recovery solutions are also required to ensure your business critical data is not lost.

Finally, to access your business applications, staff often need to be on premises - restricting the freedom of your organisation to engage in flexible work practices.

SaaS is the answer

SaaS provides key business operations - information sharing, document sharing, collaboration and communication - through fully secure hosted and supported online systems that can be accessed from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Staff, clients, and partners can all access key systems without needing to be 'in the office' or requiring a commitment to uniformity of desktop applications.  There is no software to download, upgrade, or install.

SaaS provides the following business benefits:

1. Pay as You Go - no unnecessary costs;
2. Immediate setup;
3. Zero hardware costs;
4. Zero applications to download;
5. Zero applications to configure;
6. Intuitive web-based applications;
7. Technologically Agnostic - use with any operating system (Windows, Mac or Linux);
8. Scaleable, secure, fully-tested applications.

SaaS provides your business with the ability to grow without the need to expand your workforce or IT commitments.
