Why Software as a Service?
Unleashing The Power of On-Demand
On-demand software (or Software-as-a-Service – SaaS) is a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and made available to customers over the Internet. Thanks to the rapid development of these web-based services, savvy organisations are pushing aside traditional, cumbersome legacy applications in order to realise rapid, tangible business benefits.
The on-demand delivery model stands in contrast to customary on-premises or installed software offerings, which typically require large investments in time, personnel, hardware, and consulting. In a rapidly evolving business climate, this model does not pass muster.
In the talent and learning management world, on-demand technologies can be applied across a wide spectrum of HR and corporate touch points. In parallel to increasing corporate interest in alternative training methods, there is a rising trend in technology toward on-demand delivery of training content through LMS software and services.
The Many Benfits of SaaS
The benefits of the on-demand model are numerous, well-documented, and increasingly incontrovertible. They include:
