| Software as a Service (SaaS)
More and more software vendors and service providers are focusing on the development of applications to meet evolving customer SaaS needs. The on-demand model of application delivery has gained momentum as a result of increased internet connection, improvements in remote access technologies and of course application streaming.
With application streaming technology from IT&T, software publishers and service providers can now stream applications to desktop and laptop PCs eliminating the need for users to download and install applications in the traditional way. For example, the ability to trial a fully functional version of a software application is now possible without the risk of it being copied or a “crack” key being applied. At the end of the trial, the software is removed from the client machine as if it had never been there in first place, or can continue to be used on a SaaS model without having to re-install.
The main benefit of accessing products via SaaS is that its very cost effective. Both large and small companies like to gain economically viable access to complex technology that was traditionally either hard to deploy, out of their price bracket or too resource hungry to deploy on large scale projects. Because access to products served via SaaS is deployed securely over the internet they are available 24x7x365.
SaaS provides a multitude of benefits to businesses who adopt this approach to implementing their often mission critical business applications. The obvious benefit upfront is the lack of capital expenditure both in terms of software and hardware infrastructure, avoiding a hit to cash flow whilst gaining definite tax advantages by making your software provision an operating cost.
Using application streaming technology from IT&T users can theoretically work anywhere.
This is one of the major benefits of SaaS.
