Benefits of SaaS Business Model

SaaS has a number of benefits over traditional ways of owning software. Some of the SaaS benefits are:

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – reduced up front costs.
Rapid deployment – quick installation and configuration.
Fast installation of new features – release management is performed by us with minimum impact on application availability.
Reduced HR costs – it takes away the need to hire extra IT personnel skilled in business intelligence, database and system administration.
No additional hardware required – it is handled by our team.
Increased productivity and ROI – this is a result of reduced TCO and faster deployment. SaaS model shifts the burden of successful deployment and management from the customer to the vendor, improving user productivity by increasing application reliability and security.

Today when competitive pressures are escalating, a growing number of companies are recognizing that SaaS represents a more economical and effective approach to obtaining and leveraging business software.

Adobe Introduces SaaS Model

Recently Adobe introduced a SaaS Model for pricing (SaaS being “Software-as-a-Service”). It seems this model is seriously gaining popularity. Let’s see how this adds up:

For Adobe’s most popular suite (Design Premium) you will pay a humble $1899 (plus taxes?). This price is for a regular purchase. If you are going for subscription instead you will pay either $139 (plus taxes?) per month or $95 (plus taxes?) if you commit to a full year subscription.

How do you feel about this? I wish they’d stop hiding taxes and world peace of course.

Clients love the SaaS model and our business intelligence reporting system, DataPark, is based on it. Why they love it you can see in this post: Benefits of SaaS Pricing Model.
