Whether you head a large enterprise or a small business, you need advanced software to ensure your enterprise is fully functional. To meet rising consumer demands and stand out among the competition, companies need to deploy an “always-on” software in the cloud.
The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model fulfills these software requirements by giving you access to full-service software integration applications, including documents, cloud storage, collaboration tools, email services, internal communication channels, etc.
The Shift to SaaS during a Downturn Economy
Unarguably, the COVID-19 pandemic has put a lot of stress on organizations, especially in terms of their technology ecosystems and whether or not they have the ability to remain operational during these difficult times.
With over 60% of Americans working from home during the crisis, IT organizations have shifted their business functions from on-premise applications to the cloud. This is done to give providers the ability to keep crucial technology up and running from remote locations.
SaaS has evolved from collaboration tools and video conferencing solutions to automating tasks like email marketing and data analysis. As remote work becomes the norm, these tools have become crucial to not only survive the pandemic but also succeed in the face of challenges.
Since SaaS solutions are hosted in the cloud, remote workers can access the tools they typically need in the office through virtual private networks (VPNs) and web browsers. This allows the staff to remain connected and work at full efficiency despite working from home.
The Ability to Scale Anytime, Anywhere
The reason enterprises deploy on-premise infrastructure is to better manage the workload. However, this requires being physically present at data centers to build infrastructure or scale new systems. Since that’s no longer the case, organizations with on-premise models struggle to provide work from home capabilities to their employees.
With companies rushing to set up remote operations, SaaS providers see a huge influx of users connecting to these solutions via internet service providers (ISPs) and web browsers.
Video conferencing tool, Zoom, for instance, scrambled to keep up with this influx as the platform’s usage soared from 10 million participants in December of 2019 to a whopping 200 million in March 2020.
