SaaS - SOFWTARE AS A SERVICE

 

The GreenMile SaaS (Software as a Service) Platform is a High Performance & High Security Cloud-based application that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, through any web browser.  Some of the benefits that this technology can provide to your company.

 

 

SAVE TIME

 

SaaS eliminates many of the costly implementation tasks associated with licensed software.   With SaaS technology your company can literally be “up and running” in a matter of hours.  Compare this to traditional on premise software solutions than take multiple weeks or months to implement.   SaaS applications remove much of the costly overhead typically associated with implementing conventional software, including purchasing and maintaining servers, housing them securely, and installing and maintaining software, deployment time tends to be much shorter with a SaaS application than a traditional one.

 

 

SAVE MONEY

 

There are multiple cost advantages with a SaaS model that makes it less expensive than an on-premise solution, including:

 

• LOW UPFRONT COSTS. With SaaS you avoid the high up-front costs associated with planning, installing and implementing a software system that needs to be deployed internally on servers and desktops and integrated with other IT systems.  With SaaS applications, you pay a monthly or annual subscription fee which as an operations expense is easier to incorporate into your budget than a large up front capital expenditure.

 

• LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS.  Server-based software must be constantly maintained in order to get patches, bug fixes, and product updates.  This requires your already over-burdened IT staff to take on this responsibility as well.  And since most all software requires continual updates and some type of annual maintenance program, these costs really add up over time.

 

• LOWER TRAINING COSTS.  Many on-premise software packages require extensive training in order for users to learn how to properly use the product and leverage its capabilities.  SaaS software is designed to be easier to use; people can typically learn how to use the application in a very short period of time without having to purchase complex training courses.

 

 

INCREASE COMPANY FOCUS ON CORE BUSINESS

 

A significant advantage of a cloud-based solution is that it allows the company to focus on their core business instead of focusing time, money, and staff on supporting the application itself.  The more time your employees spend maintaining equipment, downloading and installing patches, and supporting software upgrades, the less time they are spending on your core business activities.

 

 

IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE MOST UP-TO-DATE TECHNOLGY

 

Stop “chasing the upgrade”!  On-premise software forces users to wait for each new product release and then install it.  When factoring in the cost and complexity of moving to a new version, it may not even be practical to upgrade each time a new release becomes available.  The SaaS-enabled solution makes product upgrades available the instant they are available. This means your company gets the latest capabilities and upgrades fast and without having to do anything.  You simply get the latest and greatest automatically, included with your monthly or annual subscription fees.

 

 

ON DEMAND ACCESS AND DATA SECURITY

 

Because SaaS is hosted in “the Cloud”, users can access it from anywhere, anytime, on any internet-connected device, allowing access to the solution from inside or outside your four walls. Because it’s hosted and backed-up by the provider, your data data and information is more secure than a typical on-premise solution.  So if something happens to an employee’s laptop, an office PC,  or a company server, the data is still safely stored on the application providers server and database.
