Because SaaS facilitates remote application hosting and delivery, its key advantage is easy access across locations and devices. That’s especially true in organizations that have a “work-from-anywhere” culture. Customers who use software as a service have no hardware or software to install, maintain, or upgrade. Traditional software generally demands large, upfront investments in exchange for limited installations. Updates arrive in the form of new software versions that you must buy and install. Meanwhile, your company needs energy, servers, and storage to accommodate applications and data. And if your business experiences a data breach or natural disaster, it could lose access to critical applications and information.
