What is Software On Demand?

Software as a Service (SaaS) is also known as software on demand. Microsoft terms it Software Plus Services.  Whatever you call it SaaS represents a new model that is causing a paradigm shift in how applications are delivered and consumed.

Typically, SaaS is software accessed via a web browser, usually on a per user/per month subscription basis. This is usually delivered via a hosting provider such as 7global which manages the infrastructure from a secure data centre, the delivery and the platform either for an ISV or for a large scale software provider i.e. Microsoft.

The main benefits in having applications delivered using the SaaS for your business are:

• When you work with a 7global SaaS partner you will have the confidence your application is being looked after by the best, in a state of the art data centre where levels of security and management are unsurpassed – even by the largest global corporate enterprise
   
• Business application and infrastructure costs are not paid ‘up front’ but spread over a period of time, removing capital expenditure issues
   
• With business users working increasingly out of the office, SaaS makes remote access to mission-critical applications easy, as well as enhancing communications with business partners and workgroups
   
• This technology is increasingly popular with businesses attracted by the savings in capital expenditure and software support. It makes software affordable and accessible for many businesses for the first time
