SaaS Not Me!

Let's not talk mess up things, "Cloud Computing". If you ask five different people what it is, you get seven different response. What we will discuss the SaaS - Software as a Service (pronounced Sass). BTW - SaaS and Cloud Computing - no difference, but people can clearly understand SaaS, but for some reason they think Cloud Computing is something magical and mythical as wizards, unicorns and George Clooney. What we are seeing more and more companies are dumping the software as a productto offer it as a service. Let us now see in a little detail what is actually searching.

The main characteristics of SaaS are:

Network access
The application is not installed on the local machine
This application can be accessed from any PC with Internet access
one-to-many (single instance, multi-tenant)

Additional features:

Most are modular, you buy the features they need, but you can add more later
It is not all or nothing, you can just add some advanced features for some users, whendesired
VPN is usually delivered on a secure website, which is a simpler and more reliable than
SaaS applications are generally more dynamic than the canned products. They may be changed, updated or added new features much easier

Now we want in a typical scenario of a company if they look to go looking for a new software / solution.

Test multiple applications needed to resolve the problem you are entitled
Call a representative from each other and meeting with them
Watch a Demoeach with a "Task Force"
Opt for one or the purchase of assessing
Purchase of hardware, operating system, application. Making it safe, you can ask to end users and make countless phone calls, how much better the old system was.

Also, (assuming you are not using virtualization), you must cultivate a new server operating system patches and new to take a new application to run.

Basically there are two main objections is the first that there is no realAdaptation. Enter to close the menu - with no changes, substitutions or special requests. The other main objection is safety. Where are my data resides, it is sure of who accesses it, how do I access? Do not mean to minimize these concerns, but for most customers, or a valid obstacle that prevents a company from using a SaaS application. A SaaS provider, security is more important than that is probably for you. Think about it, ifThe data are at risk will be to sue you, and you win, and the company is probably your fault other companies. If they do not protect your safety with their lives are out of the market - period! And the other objection, most companies just do not need real regulation.

Now, for the benefits of Software as a Service:

No cost initial investment! No hardware to buy, operating system or application
Predictable monthly (or yearly) to spend
Lightscalable - in general, you can add or remove users or modules (check with supplier)
You do not have the management, maintenance, patches, updates or something that all providers of SaaS
The experts, if the application crashes, you're going to solve the problem, your boy with general knowledge or an expert?
Fast assembly - days instead of weeks ... or more.
Low risk. Typically, this type of test applications with minimal effort, no downtime and minimum disruption before pulling "theTrigger
Later changing easier if you become unhappy

Most studies indicate that the use of software as a service up to 50% less than the internal use of the solution when you factor out the cost and administrative costs. OK, so for me, that seems pretty convincing evidence for the use of software as a service support - where it makes sense (which is a completely different question, and one that is unique to each company). What do you mean your still not convinced? SixYou probably already do! You guessed it a Yahoo or Gmail address, what no one else. They host the e-mail and deliver it to you on the Internet. Salesforce is a leading provider of On Demand CRM SaaS take. Other companies in the traditional game of WebEx as Microsoft, IBM and Cisco to get started. And finally, there was name-dropping, you have one, Facebook or LinkedIn Twitter account. Some of the larger companies and the fastest growingthe last 5 years do not "sell" a tangible product. These start-up of new rules and the traditional heavyweights jump into the game you have to admit that this is a legitimate choice for any business.
