What is SaaS?
• Software as a Service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet — as a service.
• Examples of SaaS companies you may be familiar with areLinkedIn, Dropbox and now, Bridgit
• Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management.
Definition from salesforce.com
REMEMBER THIS?
Software as a Service (SaaS)
=No desktop downloads
No manual updates
No more wasted time
Why is this different from
typical software?• No upfront costs: Because SaaS products don’t require any
installation or customization before they can be activated, there are
typically no upfront costs associated with them
• Access from anywhere: SaaS products work from the cloud,
meaning over the internet instead of from a file saved to your
personal computer
• No manual updates: With SaaS, there is never the need to
download a pesky software update and communicate it with the
entire remote team
• True collaboration: Working from the cloud means that true team
collaboration is finally possible
Mobile SaaS vs. stand-alone apps
• No desktop downloads required,
accessible from your computer via
secure login
• Mobile version can be downloaded
directly from the app store
• Typically a recurring monthly fee based
on users, storage or feature package
• Allows all team members to
communicate in real-time
• All updates and information are saved to
the cloud and are accessible from
anywhere
Mobile SaaS Stand-alone Apps• Can be downloaded directly from the
app store
• Typically a low one-time fee ($1.99 -$19.99)
• Download costs are per person
• Does not allow for back and forth communication between team members
• Nothing is saved to the cloud. All information is stored locally on your mobile device
• Export via email, dropbox or .pdf is required in order to share information
