SaaS is the abbreviation of Software-as-a-service which is to provide software services via internet and customer could commercially rent the software instead of purchase of software license.

SaaS solution vendor provides their customers all the items required to build up information-based platform and those items include network infrastructure, software & hardware platform, initial implementation, support services and etc. It is unnecessary for customer to purchase any software or hardware, to prepare server room, to recruit dedicate IT staff. And instead of all of these, customer only needs to pay one-off implementation fee & software leasing service fee (periodically) then customer can enjoy the system via internet. Another advantage of SaaS is to lower the risk and cost of information management of mid/small business.

Advantage of SaaS：

Technique Aspect: Customer can enjoy up-to-date technical application and suffice the requirements of information management but without allocate any extra IT staff.

Investment Aspect: customer only invest “monthly fee” as a relatively cheap mode that can help keep a good cash flow therefore release financial stress for customer. Moreover, there’s no concern about the depreciation and customer can reach the latest hardware platform & best solution.

Maintenance & Management Aspect: In terms of “leasing mode” of SaaS, there’s no necessity to arrange particular staff for maintenance & management and obviously no cost on them as well. SaaS mitigates the stress on HR and finance, helps customer concentrate the fund and focus on its core business.
