What is SaaS?
SaaS is fully written as Software as a service. This is a service aiming to end users based on cloud technology.
It can be understood that the vendor creates the software and maintains a part on the web platform; and customers can access to remotely via internet after paying a recurring subscription fee (monthly, quarterly, annually). While before, users will have to download it and install it.
Why does SaboTech choose to develop SaaS software?
SaaS gains popular and virtually monopolizes in the technology field. It is considered as a 4.0 model that is much superior to the perpetually licensed software that businesses acquire. SaboTech's business philosophy is: The customer is always at the center of all business activities, so the products that SaboTech creates must bring optimal convenience and meet the needs of customers. Here are some advantages that SaboTech has been "convinced" by SaaS in order to develop Go-Crossborder software in the form of SaaS instead of another form:
User-friendly
With SaaS software, customers will not have to install and run applications on their own computers or in their own data centers. Administration system with account information has been activated by SaboTech. Customers will not need to have a dedicated IT department to handle technical problems arising during software operation. Any arised issues and updates of new features will be done by SaboTech.
Cost savings
SaaS is set to run on the web platform, so clients could save hardware space for other purposes. As a result, customers will not have to spend maintenance costs in using Go-Crossborder.
Save time and manpower
When developing software in the form of SaaS, staff supports directly or remotely for customers on how to set up accounts and to use the software. It takes about a week for business owners to understand and use competently all the features of the software. If each relevant department is instructed, the time is shortened even more. Meanwhile, with traditional on-premises, customers may have to suspend the operation of some parts for up to 6 months for completing installation and training the system.
Anytime and anywhere
Customers only need a network connection to be able to access the software through any devices and browsers. Thus, going to the office or opening a computer is not neccessary, just with a tablet or mobile phone and sitting in any position, customers can also manipulate and use unlimited features.
High integration capabilities
On-premise software is designed to solve problems independently and not related to any other application, which will be a barrier when ordering and consigning units synchronize data with the customer's sales website or domestic delivery unit. SaaS through API connection allows synchronization and data exchange between lots of applications of different vendors.
Ability to update
As the software is developed based on cloud technology, SaboTech is almost able to update the software continuously without adversely affecting the user's operations.
Those are some advantages that make SaaS increasingly popular these days. It helps businesses simplify their operations to focus on their internal business.
