Benefits of SaaS Model #
The SaaS model helps enterprises ensure that all locations are using the correct application version and, therefore, that theformat of the data being recorded and conveyed is consistent, compatible, and accurate. By placing the responsibility for an application onto the doorstep of a SaaS provider, enterprises can reduce administration and management burdens they would otherwise have for their own corporate applications. SaaS also helps to increase the availability of applications to global locations. SaaS also ensures that all application transactions are logged for compliance purposes. The benefits of SaaS to the customer are very clear
- Streamlined administration
- Automated update and patch management services
- Data compatibility across the enterprise (all users have the same version of software)
- Facilitated, enterprise-wide collaboration
- Global accessibility
