3 Major Benefits of Software as a Service

Your business runs on software, whether it’s hosted on your office’s internal network or in the cloud. However, it turns out that there are several benefits to considering the cloud-based model using cloud-hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings. Your organization can enjoy enhanced accessibility, scalability, and easier maintenance and updates through the use of a SaaS model.

If at any point during this blog you feel like you are ready to commit to SaaS, we urge you to make a quick phone call to KB Technologies Managed IT to determine what your needs are. Now, without further ado, here are some of the best benefits you can expect to reap from using a SaaS platform for your productivity needs.

Accessibility for Remote Workers

With so many workers performing their duties out of the office, it’s no wonder that accessibility makes the top of our benefits list. The fact of the matter is that employees need access to the tools they use throughout their workday, and the cloud and SaaS tools allow them to have more consistent access to them, whether they are in the office or working from home. Since the applications are hosted in the cloud, the only requirement is an Internet connection and a device capable of running the solution.

Scalability and Flexibility

When your business is rapidly growing, so too should your infrastructure. It’s difficult and expensive to continuously install new instances of the same software on new workstations, but with the scalability of SaaS, you can easily add or remove users to accommodate the needs of your organization. With this flexibility, you have greater control over your company’s software expenditures, and when you have greater control, you’ll waste less capital on accounts that are not actively being used.

So, for example, you have one employee who joins you for a spell, only to leave a couple of months later. You can just remove their account access and adjust accordingly, rather than being stuck with a software license that doesn’t expire for another eight months.

Ease of Maintenance and Management

It’s difficult at best to keep all of your software solutions up to date, particularly if you are the one responsible for deploying any necessary patches and updates. Furthermore, it can be challenging to juggle so many software licenses, putting your organization at risk of letting them lapse. Cloud-based SaaS services give you access to the most updated versions of your required software, making it easier than ever to take full advantage of the latest tools.
