As you can probably tell from our name, we fully believe in SaaS solutions.

SaaS technology has experienced a revolution of its own.

SaaS or "Software as a Service" isn't new. Anyone who used an old green screen computer system, was using a terminal that hooked into a mainframe – a form of SaaS dating back to the mid 60s. These mainframe systems held all the data and the processing in one central location. The data was inputted from 'dumb terminals' which unlike the computers of today were totally useless without a connection to the mainframe.

What this meant though was adding new terminals and setting up new staff was a relatively simple process given there were less desktop support issues and less complexities involved.

Sounds great, so what happened? The PC, or Personal computer, arrived. With the advent of the PC people were able to access computing power that was previously only available in large corporate offices. Because there was no network and no internet, the PC had to have the capability to process, execute and store many tools within the one 'box'. This included the complexities of computer operating systems, programs, floppy disks, or if you were lucky, disk drives.

As the power of these computers increased so too did seriously complex programs, operating systems, viruses, more hardware, the list goes on.

The SaaS re-revolution

Earlier this year, some 30+ years after the first mainframes, Google announced the Chrome Operating system. This system will rely heavily on cloud or SaaS-based computing. The system will have less bells and whistles than other operating systems but is designed to manage email and website-based tasks. This system is a fundamental return back to the mainframe model and is made available thanks to the ease and accessibility of the Internet.

SaaS solutions are being adopted by some of the largest companies and corporations around the world. SaaS can be used by any sized company and the advantages are worth the jump!

The obvious benefits of SaaS to the end user is they don't have to buy expensive computers, worry about processing power or disk space as all of this will be provided for in the cloud environment. Google isn't silly and will allow for email and document storage offline. This will be managed easily so end users don't have to worry about disk space, etc.

Maybe it's the 'cloud' term or things have come full circle, but SaaS solutions have gained huge followings and are incredibly popular with savvy businesses. Why? A SaaS solution can be set-up in minutes, usually without any other dependent software, and it can be accessed in a number of ways from devices anywhere in the world. These devices can be desktops, laptops, netbooks or Internet or wi-fi-enabled smart phones.

SaaS also has the advantage of integrating with a number of other software systems, like having accounting packages talk to CRM tools, allowing for increased efficiencies with little or zero double handling of data.

SaaS removes a lot of I.T headaches and burdens from a company. No longer does a company need file servers, exchange servers, database servers, or backup systems. SaaS handles this with ease. You pay for the convenience and the infrastructure instead of license fees and the unknown. And based on history, SaaS works!
