By using this method, software can be delivered to any market segment including small, medium and large businesses. Cool Life System's powerful infrastructure enables every company to experience the benefits of this web-driven method throughout its entire organization. Companies are given a strong alternative to buying, building, and maintaining their own IT infrastructure. Companies can plug in and subscribe to services that are built on a world-class infrastructure delivered via the Internet, plus eliminate the costs of on-premise, installable software. Cool Life Systems is a helping lead the Software as a Service revolution and enabling companies to:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Decrease total cost of software use by avoiding ownership, saving up to 90% on customary costs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Reduce loss of productive and valuable time by decreasing implementation and start-up time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Focus on business and not technology.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drivers for SaaS Adoption&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In recent years there has been a shift in terminologies from Application Service Providers (ASP) to Software-as-a-Service providers. This is because the ASP generation, which involved a customer purchasing a copy of software and bringing it to a hosting company, consisted of traditional client server applications with HTML front-ends added as an afterthought. These parties ordinarily do not have application expertise and solely managed servers, leading to poor performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By comparison, Net-native SaaS applications or independent portions are updated regularly. This gradual shift in terminologies reflects the change in the business requirements by clients. Software-as-a-Service is a version of business process outsourcing (BPO) that delivers software functionality without the overhead of operating the application. In more recent years, vendors can create the application but allow end users to tailor is heavily through parameters. This results in a more standardized application across various clients and ultimately makes the economies of scale more attainable. With the widespread use of software tools, paying for software utility is on the rise. The traditional rationale for BPO is that it enforces economies of scale, meaning a service provider can offer better, cheaper, and more reliable applications. In recent years, Software-as-a-Service has truly flourished. Several important changes to the way we work have allowed this to happen:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Everyone has a computer. &lt;/strong&gt; Most information workers have access to a computer and are familiar with conventions ranging from mouse usage to web interfaces. The learning curve is lower as a result.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Computing is now a commodity. &lt;/strong&gt; In the past, corporate mainframes were jealously guarded as a strategic advantage. Strategic focus has recently shifted to the applications. Today people know that it’s the businesses processes and the data itself- customer records, workflows, and pricing information – that matter.  Computing and application licenses are suitable for cost reduction and outsourcing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Applications are standardized. &lt;/strong&gt; Industry-specific exceptions aside, most employees spend their time using standardized applications. Expense reporting pages, applicant screening tools, spreadsheets, and e-mail systems are all sufficiently ubiquitous.  Most users can switch from one system to another.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Applications have adjustable parameters. &lt;/strong&gt; The only way to change a workflow in older applications was to modify the code.  In recent web based ones, significant new applications can be created from parameters and macros.  This allows organizations to create many different kinds of business logic atop a common application platform.  Many SaaS providers allow a wide range of customization within a basic set of functions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Web Systems are reliable.&lt;/strong&gt; Despite sporadic outages and slow-downs, most people are willing to use the public Internet and the HTTP to deliver business functions to the end users.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;• Security is sufficiently well-trusted.&lt;/strong&gt;  With the broad adoption of SSL, organizations have a way of reaching their application without the complexity and burden of end-user configurations or VPNs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3705769895231069233-8697286628589891283?l=saasexpert.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saasexpert.blogspot.com/feeds/8697286628589891283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://saasexpert.blogspot.com/2009/09/software-as-service.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3705769895231069233/posts/default/8697286628589891283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3705769895231069233/posts/default/8697286628589891283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saasexpert.blogspot.com/2009/09/software-as-service.html' title='Software-as-a-Service'/><author><name>Cool Life Systems</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10329910227734216154</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
