Start talking about SaaS, SaaS is English Soft as a Service (SaaS) shorthand. SaaS does not refer to an industry or a technology, it is a professional software rental using one kind of mode 2B.
What is a professional software?
To solve a particular industry or firm-specific issues targeted development of software systems, such as express delivery industry logistics management system, catering industry, ordering system, the supermarket cash register system, production-oriented enterprises of ERP systems, financial management systems.
SaaS is becoming popular in recent years, because of the emergence of SaaS, software as a service way past our mouths became the "traditional model" to understand the SaaS start to understand the traditional software service model.
The first is the service process:
The larger the project above process, the longer the period of time to complete. Demand is relatively simple with a month to complete the deployment be soon, and after completion of the deployment of the software life cycle is only the beginning of the subsequent debugging, maintenance, upgrades require a huge investment and ongoing costs.
In addition to software, also typically involves hardware: servers.
A complete set of software systems are typically configured server + client, data storage, exchange, typically to the server computing process. The server had to keep buying with someone to maintain. Software + hardware by 50 people in a small meet the most basic needs of micro companies to count the cost is at least 10W +.
For Case
A 100-person decoration company, through telephone sales, the accumulation of customer interest, customer interest and then allocated to the business sector to further interviews, customers signing a telemarketing staff and operational staff then assign sales commission. This is a problem which arises, business people in order to earn more commission, often selfish to change customer information, customer for himself, signing the minutes alone performance. So the company salesman and sell electricity situation wrangling often, but problems persist, adversely affected the company's operations. Another problem is that the owners have signed up for, after signing into the renovation project will, the owners need to understand the progress during the renovation, the project leader to coordinate the design, supervision, construction and other sectors to get the project, the efficiency is very low.
There are two problems to be solved: First, sales process management and control, and second, the project schedule management.
Light these two issues, if using the traditional software purchase, I'm afraid to find companies filed demands, to do a CRM and OA to do a project management. Needs analysis done - - client confirmation - docking technology - features custom - test - deploy on-site installation - commissioning - product training - then the other side into the post-maintenance company sent Project Manager - docking needs. A set of processes to go down, you will find the process very large, long cycle, the cost is naturally high.
What are the benefits of the traditional model of the rest of it? To the enterprise software is the feeling in your own home, in your own home server, internal data businesses are more safe and secure. In fact, this mentality is like money in the bank, or buy their own safe place at home as relatively safe.
And if you use this whistle SaaS software services, has developed a good feature, but also highly customizable, sales management and task management will be able to fully meet the needs of this decoration companies. Ali cloud server used to pay Po Ali cloud service is used, Alipay trust should trust whistle, absolute data security, as well as the backup server whistle with Huawei cloud services.
Then just two steps: Find the whistle - installation. Costs to be paid extremely low, but that does not bring value has shrunk.
The biggest difference between SaaS and traditional software services is two things:
The use of cloud services, customers do not need to deploy server;
Downloading of the box, without having to install special deployment.
Based on the above two points, compared to the traditional model of SaaS has a clear advantage:
The use of low cost, no matter how small companies can afford;
Rapid deployment of applications, high efficiency;
Ongoing maintenance, an upgrade at no extra cost.
