CYPRO - Software As A Service (SaaS)

Unleashing The Power of On-Demand

• Software as a Service or SaaS is a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and made available to customers over the Internet. Thanks to the rapid development of these web-based services, savvy organisations are pushing aside traditional, cumbersome legacy applications in order to realise rapid, tangible business benefits.
• The SaaS delivery model stands in contrast to customary on-premises or installed software offerings, which typically require large upfront investments in time, personnel, hardware, and consulting. In a rapidly evolving business climate, this model does not make sense.

Service, Not Software

• Offerings are offered as a service. This means there is no additional hardware, infrastructure, or software to purchase, install, or maintain. Ever.

Subscription Pricing

• Subscription based pricing translates to significantly lower upfront costs. In general the Saas model not only aleviates the costs of traditional perpetual licensing fees but it also eliminates the need for traditional IT infrastructure investments to support new applications.

Flexibility, Ease of Use

• SaaS applications provide immense flexibility in configuration, customization, and general ease of use. Clients do not need to engage in large consulting firms to configure the application.

No Patches or Upgrades

• Saas applications like TextGuard do not require costly patches, service interruptions, or annual upgrades. Instead clients real time, network wide attribution of system enhancements and instantaneous upgrades worldwide.

Scalability

• The notion that SaaS is for small business is incorrect. Companies of all sizes are taking advantage of SaaS, scaling to hundreds of thousands of global users. Plus, with Saas offerings, adding incremental locations, offices, and users is straight foward and requires no further IT investment.

Systems Integration

• Todays web services ensure airtight linkages with all manner of systems and critical business applications such as HRIS, CRM, ERP, financial/billing systems, and third party content.

IT Investment

• At its core, the Saas model demands little in the way of IT staffing, hardware, and ongoing maintenance. Saas systems let businesses focus on their particular missions and leave the hosting, networking, data security and other IT issues to the supplier.

Implementation

• With a vastly simplified delivery model comes large-scale enterprise implementations delivered in days and weeks - NOT months or years. This is demonstratable, repeatable, and saves clients time, money, and frustration.

Partnership and Incentives

• SaaS delivery helps companies in one other key way - by building in productive incentives for the vendor to provide top level products and services. In short, the provider must constantly prove the value of its product in a way that does not align with the installed (entrenched) software offerings of the past.
