SaaS (Software as a service) has become a successful and widely used form of software deployment in the modern era.
In this blogpost, we share some of the reasons why.

SaaS is a computing service that gives you access to cloud-based software. Software as a Service is increasingly popular thus its faster deployment, lower rollout costs, seamless upgrades, guaranteed service levels, and improved security. It outperforms traditional models of software on a server by miles! Overall it offers a secure, scalable, cloud-based alternative to the standard software installation. 

5 benefits – Software as a Service

1. Save time and money

Traditionally, when buying software and hardware products you have to install a server on-premise to run the software. The server takes up unnecessary space in your office environment and the installation process can be time-consuming. With the traditional model you have to spend time on building the server, installing the application, and configuring it – time, that better spent elsewhere.
On the contrary, SaaS is a remote cloud-based solution you can access through Web or API.

This means that your organization pays for authorization and the specific software you are using during the time period – this offers a much more seamless and user-friendly experience!

As SaaS is subscription-based, it includes automatic upgrades, maintenance, and support. This means that you save a lot of time, as these processes are pushed automatically. Also, the cost is generally lower compared to having a large up-front cost, as you won’t be forced to pay for specialized support or buy an upgrade package and install it, etc.

By gathering your software in one cloud application you both save space and as well as money.

2. Scalable solution

Another benefit is the scalability of cloud solutions. Fischer & Kerrn’s SaaS solution Concierge Cloud is a completely scalable solution based on Microsoft Azure. This means that it is way simpler to scale up to existing IT solutions that are also hosted on the cloud. You don’t have to invest in another server or separate equipment that needs to be sourced – as you would with the traditional model.

Generally, SaaS offers flexibility and simplicity in terms of scaling. When you want to scale up, permanently, or for a shorter period of time, you can skip straight to the implementation stage. This adds to our earlier point, that the SaaS service is a time-saving solution!

Additionally, we at Fischer & Kerrn guarantee the same user-supreme experience for 50 users or 100,000 users across the globe. We monitor performance and offer the flexibility of scaling your solution according to your requirements and needs.

3. Get automatic updates

It can be frustrating and time-consuming having to update your IT systems. However, Concierge Cloud limits this frustration. With SaaS, you can get access to the latest software updates automatically, totally hassle-free. We simply upgrade the solution, and it becomes available for our customers.

You decide if you want the latest software updates pushed out automatically as soon as they are released or if you want to skip certain versions and manage software updates manually. If you are heavily dependent on your IT infrastructure being efficient and up to date, Concierge Cloud will be the solution for you.

4. A safe and secure solution

Traditionally IT security is complex and often quite expensive. But with Concierge Cloud – your data is secure with us. In the traditional model errors created by older approaches to IT management or humans are more likely to occur. The cloud is the most secure place for sensitive documents, vulnerable assets, and business-critical applications.

Compared to the traditional model with physical servers, the employees can manage security risks much more efficiently when using Concierge Cloud. This is due to the overall ease of cloud computing, which gives employees the opportunity to be more proactive in terms of security.

Our implementation team will make your deployment as smooth as possible. We furthermore offer technical installation services, migration services, product training, and project management to secure a smooth migration. Further, the Concierge Cloud has 24/7 surveillance. We ensure that our SaaS solution is always monitored. This gives you security and an extremely stable solution.

5. Live monitored solution

Cloud-based services are often more reliable than traditional ones. Fewer unexpected issues occur, and the overall experience tends to be more smooth. 

Concierge Cloud is live monitored and if the load on your environment increases, we automatically add resources, ensuring that your booking software always works brilliantly: Automatic back-ups, the geographic distribution of servers, disaster recovery, and encryption of all data. This provides a user-friendly, efficient, and hassle-free experience.
