Now, you do that math’s, and imagine how fast the SaaS market is growing day-by-day!
From the above statistics, you might get a clear understanding the rise of SaaS platform is going to be even higher than what we see at present.
Let me share some of the most important reasons, as to why you should stitch and invest in SaaS application development.
Why SaaS?
SaaS allows your business to operate at the forefront of software development, which means that moving from on-premise infrastructure benefits not only the company’s wallet, but also create a considerable increase in efficiency, productivity and accessibility of business operations.
According to BCSG, 64% of SMBs were using cloud-based apps in 2016, and adoption is expected to increase to 88% in the next two to three years.
Here we go,
1. Setup Costs
SaaS application setup (in simple language on Cloud), the cost is comparatively a lot less than on-premise systems and some service provides are also providing it completely free.
As it’s over the cloud, the user pays very less for the customization of the application as per your requirement and accesses it through his/her own internet connection.
The installation and setup also takes a lot less time.
2. Maintenance
The hosting service provider takes all the maintenance responsibility (with respect to keeping your SaaS application secure and agile).
Data restoration and backup are taken periodically, so that in case of ‘Worst Case Scenarios’ (if at all) – it’s all taken care of by the data centers.
3. Space
So what do you need to keep your on-premises systems regular uninterrupted functioning!
Those are (at minimum);
- Proper temperature with humidity control
- Server Rooms
- Specialized IT teams
In a cloud-based system no physical space and infrastructure is required. The vender handles all the necessary space and server security.
4. System Upgrades And Customization
Service providers or the vendor – alerts you about periodic upgrades to your SaaS products and Apps seamlessly without any re-customization, disturbing your present data and without any changes in the features.
Customization is always compatible with the existing and future version of application.
5. Performance Management
The deployment time of cloud apps is very less compared to an on-premise system. No need of additional hardware requirements thus saving time with maximum network performance.
The vendor manages the performance of SaaS applications.
SaaS application provides the same performance (or slightly better) like in the on-premise software and this is accessible, anywhere where there is internet available.
This draws me to the conclusion that – SaaS Application Providers (like Andolasoft) has helped businesses find solutions in a cost-effective way helping in saving time as well as resource. Adding to that, businesses get increase in efficiency and free-hand accessibility (to legitimate users).
SaaS applications enable you to choose the delivery model and easily change it when your business requirement changes. It is way easier to get new users, integrate to other systems and turn on an additional set of components.
