SOFTWARE THAT HELPS BUSINESS

Computing technology and advancement in software sectors has made it possible to carry out many impossible tasks

with relative ease. In this era, there has been tremendous development in the matters of software advancement.

Computing carries the responsibility of many tasks on its shoulders, thus it has become imperative to make sure

there is software efficient enough to handle those tasks.

Businesses, especially, are finding this technology of extensive use in handling their day-to-day affairs. How software

has evolved from being a one-time-buy option to pay-for-use version is not surprising. “SaaS”, short for Software as

a Service, is a new model developed for software use. While until now you purchased a licensed copy of software

and used it as many times as you wanted, SaaS cloud hosts software on the Internet for which you pay to access. You

access this software through the Internet or your private IP network. SaaS applications work well with big companies

as it helps to reduce overhead costs and hardware requirement.

Software hosted on cloud will be managed by SaaS companies, and if policy dictates you may always have access to

the latest versions. This benefit is not available in purchasing a licensed hard-copy of the software, especially with

big businesses where most of the tasks are software-oriented. A cloud SaaS facility also helps the IT section of

businesses by saving them the trouble of having to maintain licenses of various software. Having to purchase latest

versions periodically increases company costs.
