We live in the Cloud Computing and Software as a Service era.
Once the system is contracted, it will never be too small. Capabilities can be increased and even reduced depending on the needs of the company.
SaaS is the acronym for Software as a Service.
It means that the software or program is used as a service. The program can be purchased for a certain period of time.
Usually the program is downloaded and can be used by the company or the individual user, for a certain period of time or for a certain consumption.
SaaS avoids the purchase of computer programs, software licenses, server installation and maintenance.
Cloud Computing and the SaaS model
Cloud Computing consists of the possibility of offering services over the Internet.
The Cloud and the SaaS contracting and usage model are closely related.
Software as a service and the concept of pay-per-use are present in almost all Cloud systems.
Cloud computing is the technology that allows us to have all our information on the Internet, without worrying about computer storage. This makes the information accessible at all times and from anywhere.
The SaaS model means saving companies money in terms of software purchasing and install servers.
There are also other very important factors to consider: security and obsolescence.
In short, the SaaS model is Cloud Computing.
The system performs most of the workload in the Cloud, the provider company can update, modify and improve the service according to the emerging needs in the future.
Mobility: the SaaS model is developed on platforms that are in the Cloud.
Savings: as it frees you from purchasing and maintaining hardware in-house.
Being able to test the system without having to make an investment.
Not becoming obsolete. Software in the Cloud is continuously improving.
Efficient use: the software adapts to the needs of the company at all times..
We live in a time of constant evolution of Internet applications and services. Factors that were not before apriority have become essential. Access to information and mobility are already determining factors in the use of applications. The SaaS model provides this.
