How SaaS can be helpful to Salesforce?

Hi Avnish,

1. As SaaS is a subscription based, customers can always choose not to renew if they are dissatisfied
2. Customers can avoid a large initial investment in an IT infrastructure and day to day hustle of maintaining infrastructure
3. SaaS customer provides same provider infrastructure and also easy integration
4. SaaS applications use a simple internet interface that makes easier for customer to use.
5. SaaS always provide a latest platform to the customer with innovation.

SaaS is an evolution of the ASP model, with vendors and suppliers managing their own software and no installation required because software is distributed instantaneously over the internet -- via the cloud. Cloud computing allows businesses to consume computing resources over the internet as a utility – in the same way they do electricity or water.

The SaaS-based cloud model now offers businesses significant efficiencies and cost savings, but a number of developments were necessary before SaaS could become a viable option:

Increased access to high-speed internet connections. This has made standard internet connectivity speeds adequate for using SaaS applications. More widespread broadband connectivity has also made it easier for users to access services in different locations.
Standardisation of digital technologies. Common protocols make it easier to share, integrate and scale cloud-based programs and services, as well as provide better user experiences in a multi-device environment.
Growing popularity and usage of web-like interfaces. More and more users are happy to work in this way thanks to the familiarity, usability and simplicity of web-like environments.
Rapid and widespread adoption of mobile devices.

Benifits:

• Low setup and infrastructure costs. No capital expenditure to be depreciated on the balance sheet over time.
• Accessible from anywhere. Services can be accessed from any other connected device, which facilitates home working, reduces productivity loss from remote employees, and saves on office space.
• Rapid implementation. Set-up is quick and easy compared with in-house IT.
  Scalability.
• Access is typically a per-seat, per-month arrangement, so a business only takes on as much as it needs. Adding more seats and extending the applications as requirements expand means convenience and scalability too.

Thanks
