Saas - Software as a Service
Essentially, SaaS means a mode of delivery for software applications that allows your company to lease the
software to run your company - rather than go the traditional route to buy, implement and maintain the
software themselves. The On Demand solution model is similar to the early days of the service bureaus that
were so successful, allowing many companies to afford adoption of technologies by sharing the costs of the
systems. In short, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model provides your company with a low risk,
fast and more cost-effective alternative for you to achieve your business objectives.
Utilizing an On Demand product means that your data is secure, maintained, supported, and the
operations it performs for a your internal and external processes are handled over an off-site
network. On Demand Solutions is becoming quite an important feature for many companies, in fact a
report by IDC states that in a survey of 500 organizations, 79 percent have purchased or were
reviewing SaaS offerings. The report went on to state that 65 percent of businesses believe that
SaaS will have a significant impact on the way they purchase software during the coming year.
The IOS On Demand SaaS provides a “one to many” shared service platform with a suite of enhanced
