Software as a Service is a subscription-based software licensing and distribution model where both the software and the managed data are hosted on external servers. The application is accessed via the Internet or mobile browser. There is no hardware or software to buy, install, update or maintain. Users access SaaS applications and data from any Internet-connected computer or mobile device. Thus, there is access to a constantly updated product. Instead of purchasing new software, which is costly and time-consuming, automatic updates and patch management can be relied upon. Vertical scalability allows flexible access to services as needed, and because of subscription-based licensing, which is based on a per-user basis and a scheduled payment method, only what is used is paid for.
The highly scalable, cloud-based applications and services are based on years of industry experience and include scalable platforms, proven IT infrastructures and established business models to support fast, precise and secure implementations and continuous customer success.
When choosing the appropriate cloud delivery method for a complex software and solution portfolio, some key decisions can help you find the solution that best meets your organization's needs. This includes:
Hybrid SaaS is a subscription for on-premises (local products) with cloud services. The connection between a local service and a service in the cloud should make the digital transformation accessible, flexible and scalable for every company. So some software is on-premise and some software is in the cloud. We operate what runs and works in the cloud and the customer operates the products. Cloud services conform to industry-leading certifications, reducing waste, adding value and streamlining cloud manufacturing.
We offer cloud-based services as an extension and supplement to classic infrastructures. Many paths lead to cloud-supported tools and increases in productivity. Cloud-based services trade a roomful of hardware for numerous virtual products and services in the cloud. In doing so, we aim to find the best mix of on-premise services and cloud solutions for our customers. With our clear strategy, we see the move to the cloud full of opportunities and possibilities.
