Abstract
Although SaaS (Software as a Service) is gaining widespread acceptance and experiencing tremendous growth, many myths about today’s on-demand solutions still linger. If you are not using SaaS and a widening array of Cloud Computing alternatives to their fullest potential, maybe you`ve fallen prey to one of the many myths about these web-based services and solutions.
This whitepaper will examine and dispel five of the most common misconceptions pertaining to SaaS and the ‘Cloud’ so organizations of all sizes across every industry can optimize the value of them to gain a competitive advantage in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace.
These myths are:
- Major Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers handle application availability and scalability ‘automatically’.
- The best way to develop SaaS applications is by using a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
- The business models and pricing practices for IaaS/PaaS/SaaS are consistent, easy to understand and compare.
- Independent software vendors (ISVs) are well-prepared to deliver and operate SaaS-based solutions.
- SaaS is an ‘either/or’ challenge to an organization’s use of on-premise applications.
The five misconceptions either discourage ISVs or enterprises from migrating to SaaS, or prevent them from gaining the full business benefits of today’s leading SaaS solutions and strategies.
The just published “Five More Myths About SaaS and Cloud Computing” white paper will show you:
- How to develop successful SaaS applications;
- The best way to handle application availability and scalability;
- How to productively operate SaaS-based solutions;
- What are the business models & pricing practices for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS as well how to select the right one for you.
