SaaS Application Web Design
Software as a Service (aka Web Service)
Software as a Service (SaaS) is gaining momentum as a trusted delivery and distribution method for enterprise software as well as more traditional software for the small business office environment.
The Software as a Service (SaaS) model allows businesses to lease software on a monthly basis, (or on demand), facilitating lower set-up and operational costs rather than the traditional capital costs associated with funding software purchase, associated hardware purchase and installation. As the software is accessed via the Internet using a standard web browser there is a substantially lower operational and support cost to the business.
Benefits of SaaS Applications:
Low Cost
No large capital cost. Monthly subscriptions can start from €10 per month and scale up in small increments depending on functionality, resources consumed and/or users registered. Some SaaS applications are provided on an on-demand basis where users are charged only for the time they use.
Lower IT Support requirement
SaaS applications are centrally maintained by the SaaS vendor, with no
requirement for on-site hardware maintenance or software updating. (Some
IT support is required to maintain a local Internet connection and local
workstations, however this is a cost that should already exist.)
Scalability
SaaS applications generally scale very well and SaaS vendors are always
investing in enhanced infrastructure to deliver ever faster and responsive
service to their user base.
Accessibility
Generally users can access SaaS application anywhere, anytime, facilitating
remote working and more flexible working environments. There is a serious
responsibility undertaken by all reputable SaaS vendors to ensure that
their applications are available 24×7x365 day per with no outage.
Give me an example
Have a look at BookMeetingRoom.com, our home grown Web 2.0 SaaS application for the management of meeting rooms and other shared resources within the office environment.
The software is accessed via browser over the Internet
to users who pay a low monthly subscription.
