Software as a service to replace employees
How does SaaS work? The benefits of SaaS
Depending upon the type of SaaS system you are using, you may have the option of charging your customers for the use of it. For example, if you sell software, you can charge your customers when they come to your site to download additional add-ons to the software. The patches must be free since they are normally created to fix a problem with the software. The downside to SaaS Another problem some companies face with SaaS is that they simply do not need it. You need to make sure you have a strong supply for your demand before you invest in SaaS over employees. A lot of customers also have challenges figuring out the system and this may cause negative publicity for your company. If the software has a lot of glitches, you will need some IT support members to spend more time fixing it and this could negate the reason why you purchased the software to begin with. If you switch your SaaS provider or software, it may take a long time to convert all the data and you still have the challenge of re-training all your customers on the new software. Some companies have had issues with security breeches and operational problems. While there are some glitches to work-out, most customers that use SaaS have positive things to say about it. Software firms do have multiple security screens to pass through before you are allowed to access personal or financial data, which normally keeps the system safe from hackers. The other thing companies are able to receive from a software provider is free access to all of their data that has been collected as long as they remain with the SaaS provider. This data can help you watch market trends and determine how often your customers are using the system.
