From zero to SaaS

We all use SaaS softwares on a daily basis. But why are they becoming so popular among software companies? Let's talk about this side of the equation.?

Building Software often takes a lot of effort and running it as SaaS 24/7 is on a whole other level. You need to set up day-to-day operations [building support, monitoring], automation [tenant provisioning, CI/CD] and during that also monitor the operational costs. So why even go through all this trouble??

The main benefit for software companies when switching from traditional licensing and on-premise deployment models is increased revenue stream. Customers are charged monthly/yearly subscription fees instead of a one time payment at the point of purchase. This also allows companies to offer more frequent updates with new features without having to wait until the next major release cycle which is usually years apart in traditional software delivery models. Logically, this improves customer satisfaction by providing them access to the latest technology faster, while reducing costs associated with maintenance due to shorter support cycles for SaaS products compared to on-premise ones. Every buck counts.?

Last year we helped eramba move from packaged software to a full scale SaaS software delivery. They provided the software & features and we helped them do all the heavy lifting with our reference architecture LARA. This is just one example of how any company can easily build their SaaS offering and enjoy its business and cost benefits.
