SaaS is a software delivery model that significantly reduces or altogether avoids your software
implementation time, as well as mitigates the risks and costs associated with on-premise
or homegrown software automation projects. On Demand provides a low entry point,
low cost, high value solution that enables you to focus on growing your business.
The SaaS model is becoming a tremendously disruptive force to traditional software implementation because
it is easier to implement, offers a low cost yet powerful solution and provides all around
flexibility. The software, delivered as a web based service, literally draws out the best of
both worlds as the differences between software and services are becoming increasingly
blurred.
With Internet Office’s IOS Platform normally high-ticket items such as Marketing Software, Newsletters
that negate the need for printing and mailing, email with additional marketing functionality, email per
user, CRM, collaboration and more are low or no cost. Fill in the blanks with Web Content Management
(WCM) and eCommerce/POS Management to include Product and Service Management, Inventory and Order Management
Software you can easily see how quickly your IT savings can add up by using our fully integrated multi-tiered
On-Demand Product.
Put and end to the madness! IOS On Demand bundles in
maintenance, server, support and hosting costs and provides a low cost alternative to implementation, licensing
and customization. You now have the ability to save your company significant money every year! ROI is
generally realized within 6 months and your ongoing savings grow more significant every year through the functionality
and flexibility of the IOS SaaS.
In fact, companies are realizing the cost savings are so drastic that according to Pacific
Crest Securities, an independent investment bank, the SaaS market will grow at 25% per year
until it reaches $10 billion in 2009. Compare that to the estimated growth rate of just over
5% per year that is expected for the traditional on-premises model and you begin to wonder what
the early adopters of SaaS know that you didn’t know! Furthermore, IDC claims that in a survey
of 500 organizations, 79 percent have purchased or were reviewing SaaS offerings. And, 65 percent
of businesses with between 100 and 10,000 employees believe that SaaS will have a significant
impact on the way they purchase software during the coming year.
Any application's functionality, flexibility and ability to address the end-users' needs remain
important factors in your purchase decision. You will find these become even more important
when you compare your immediate capital expenditures through the use of a hosted service by pricing out a comparable set of software
and include those ongoing fees to equal the software you get with a SaaS for an apple to apples comparison. With IOS you have cross functions fully
integrated across multiple business processes, the flexibility to customize within the software and to have additional custom software integrated with
the system, a reasonable entry point, in addition to the ability to provide for your customers and business partners in a way that makes sense, is
easy to use and will provide them with the functions they need to do business with you.
