What is SaaS?
Software as a Service (SaaS) allows individuals and companies to access applications and data through a web browser, using any device with an internet connection. In a SaaS scenario, the company that owns the software hosts all of the data, servers, and code associated with their product. Users access the software just by logging in remotely, usually by subscription. That means portable, versatile software available when and where you need it.
SaaS applications can perform a wide range of functions, from business apps and office software to industry-specific tools and services. OneDrive, Hubspot, Microsoft Teams, DocuSign, and Zoom are just a few examples of SaaS products available to businesses.
How can SaaS help my business?
SaaS applications are quickly replacing traditional buy-and-download programs because they give businesses control and customization while saving money and boosting efficiency.
Cost Savings
Because it’s built as a subscription model, SaaS applications are almost always less expensive upfront than traditional installed software.
Always Updated
SaaS is automatically updated by the vendor as soon as a patch or update is released, so you can be sure you’re always working with the latest version of your online tools, including the most up-to-date security features.
Scalability
SaaS allows you to add or subtract users and features as your business evolves, without investing in additional hardware or being left with unused or outdated products.
Small-Business Friendly
The affordability of SaaS allows smaller businesses to access the same software as bigger industry giants, leveling the playing field for growth.
Versatile and Compatible
Because SaaS solutions run through your internet browser, it doesn’t matter what operating system you’re using; in some cases, it doesn’t even matter what device is in your hand. Most SaaS applications can be used on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones alike.
