BENEFITS of SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE (SaaS)

Today's sophisticated and complex workforce requires flexibility

Many employee's work remotely or offsite at least some of the time, and many organizations have multiple locations, which means ease-of-delivery becomes a critical issue. SaaS solutions offer 24/7 access, from multiple locations.

Rapid deployment of solutions

SaaS implementations are streamlined to meet business needs across the board.  Multi-tenant SaaS solutions can offer shorter deployment and training cycles. Down time for an upgrade is scheduled for non-business hours allowing for uninterrupted data access.

Reduced cost of ownership while retaining full control

Since there is no longer a need for on-premise software, the IT department can focus on more strategic organizational initiatives. SaaS frees up company resources, and removes the cost of purchasing and maintaining on-premise software as a concern. SaaS solutions are not the same as "outsourcing" - with SaaS you retain total control and anytime access, with none of the hassles of on-site software.

Predictability

With SaaS, there is a fixed monthly price per employee.   No more costly surprises when an upgrade is needed, which erase concerns about staying within budget.

Keep current with federal compliance changes

SaaS allows you to stay in compliance with federal regulatory rules and changes. As regulatory changes are mandated, SaaS vendors perform automatic updates so clients can stay compliant. Reduce the liability of non-compliance through SaaS.

Reliability

When a SaaS solution is used, the vendor supplying the solution is responsible for maintaining the system and applying all patches and upgrades to the system. In addition, some SaaS vendors deliver a SAS 70 Type-II datacenter ensure that the risk of downtime due to disaster recovery, power loss, or any other disruption is minimized. This level of certification ensures data will be accessible 24x7 from any location.

Scalability

SaaS solutions are easily scalable to accommodate growth or organizational restructuring.
