Why should you consider moving to a SaaS Model?Time to LaunchEach SaaS application is already installed and configured in the cloud. This minimizes common delays resulting from often lengthy traditional software deployment. Show Once development is complete, the software is ready to use. There is no additional time waiting for installation or resolving unexpected issues with the client’s hardware once the software is deployed on site. ScalabilityThere is no need to worry about capacity as the software’s usage or users grows. Moving to a SaaS model means organizations can add users as needed without worrying about procuring new hardware and other infrastructure components. Clients can receive additional storage space or bandwidth with the simple push of a button. When additional user licenses are needed, such as for new hires, they can be obtained by creating a new user ID and password rather than having to purchase additional physical software. The product owner must be prepared to provide additional capacity but achieves economies of scale by hosting multiple products in the same place. Therefore, these costs are much lower than they would be for the client to upgrade their own hardware. In addition, the product owner can recover incremental costs by billing based on usage.
