Software-As-Service Is a "Win Win" Proposition
More and more companies are subscribing to fully hosted software-as-service solutions, rather than diverting capital
investment into ownership of hardware (servers, cables, routers, storage disks, etc.), software (operational system,
database software, and firewall), and connectivity (bandwidth, security, contingency etc) infrastructure.
There are many reasons for this: the first one and more obvious one is that company resources should be allocated
to core business initiatives and not in such infrastructures. When purchasing software and hardware you are normally
"forced" to buy upgrades every 3 years (average), and you risking having your infrastructure base become obsolete.
When you subscribe to software-as-service, such as the Zapp system, every time you use the software, you will be
using the most updated and upgraded version.
If you invest in creating your own proprietary hardware and software infrastructure, you will have to hire an IT
team, which is a huge expense. This team will also have to develop a software/system and keep it running, updated,
upgraded, and well-maintained in every aspect from server up-time tasks, to database management, security,
back up jobs. And the list goes on.
Software development requires large amounts of time and money. Software is a dynamic product and has to be in
constant stage of improvement to survive in an ever-changing technological environment. That is why just maintaining
a system costs almost as much as developing one from scratch!
Many companies learn this lesson only when they reach the late stage of development, and when it appears too late to
stop and go back. However, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO STOP AND GET REALIGNED!
Then along comes a fully hosted software-as-service solution, such as the Zapp system, and knocks at your door.
It has every feature your organization dreamed about, and IT IS READY TO GO! It does not require major capital
investment. And mostly important: It has is been tested and approved by several satisfied customers. Most of
them may be your direct competitors. And they are moving faster than you are... What are you going to do about it???
