Why is SaaS considered the industry of the future?
The work today has varied a lot, it is no longer defined by the physical or traditional limitations of yesteryear. We are in a globalized world and borders no longer exist, business opportunities can appear anywhere, so employees and companies must have the appropriate means to facilitate productivity, be agile, and adapt to real-time according to market dynamics.
Taking into account the above, the SaaS (Software as a service) software distribution model is of great help to companies since living in a globalized world, the client connects from anywhere via the internet to a company's servers ICT that offers this software as a service, allowing you to have the information anywhere in the world. SaaS undoubtedly offers enormous guarantees to face the many opportunities in a future defined by innovation and speed, but it is necessary to be right in choosing the solution that best suits the needs of our organization.
The concept of software as a service began in 2000 and is associated with a trial by Tim O'Reilly. The success of many companies including Netflix, Dropbox, Slack, Spotify, Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, and Kubernetes has made the nascent SaaS industry a distinctive model of the modern digital economy.
Why choose software as a service solution?
To use applications that are not particularly in demand.
For short-term projects whose characteristic is a close collaboration between the various actors.
If you have a startup or SME you want to launch an e-commerce site quickly and don't have time to handle server or software issues.
For applications that require web and mobile access.

Many are the companies that are joining the bandwagon of SaaS applications to reach new levels of differentiation both in the competitive part and in the business performance. Today, the idea that mobility generates value is more and more widespread, as experience and success stories testify to this.
Business transformation must come from all levels of the company and with the involvement of all the actors who participate in order for said transformation to be positive.
What is the difference between Cloud and SaaS?
The SaaS model and cloud technology are closely related to each other, but they are not the same. By cloud, we generally mean the complex technology behind the software infrastructure. It is a set of computers, servers and databases joined so that users can access and use their resources. By SaaS, we specifically mean software applications delivered through the cloud. Thanks to the widespread growth in cloud accessibility, SaaS developers are simpler, faster, and less expensive.
The software as a service model is not only the future, it is already the present! Companies that continue to use traditional software will find themselves at a disadvantage compared to companies that exploit the competitive advantages of SaaS. Quickly review the platforms you use on a daily basis and find out how many of them are SaaS. You will be surprised to see the result.
