Software as a Service (SaaS) is the software sales model when a developer provides a customer with the access to an application through the Internet. The main advantage of SaaS Model for the customer is that they don’t receive the software itself, but get the functions implemented by it. In this case the client pays not for possession of the program, but for renting it. While using SaaS the customer avoids expenses connected with software adjustment and introduction in the company, as well as expenses on the maintenance of the equipment where the software is installed. All these cares lay down on shoulders of the SaaS provider.
The TeamWox business management system also has the SaaS version. It provides the remote access to the collaboration system - through the web interface. The program is installed not on the customer’s hardware, but on the servers of MetaQuotes Software Corp. or those of other SaaS providers. It allows to avoid many problems:
-
serious investments into collaboration software purchase under the standard scheme
- long process of software installation and groupware introduction
- purchase of the hardware that will provide the troublefree operation of the business management system
Within the SaaS model it is much more favorable to work with the application as the customer receives not the software, but only that business-functional which it provides. And that is what the client wants. Besides now there is no necessity to spend large sums on program purchase under a standard scheme (with local installation) – SaaS application is paid for in the small portions for each usage period of the application. In addition to what was mentioned above it is possible to cross out the necessity to purchase hardware that will ensure functioning of the application at the enterprise.
Instead of buying user-wise licenses and install the collaboration system for your business. All you need to do is pay access to TeamWox Groupware SaaS installed on the server of the developer or other SaaS providers. The system can be accessed through a usual web browser.
