SaaS and Startups
eFouz.com blog is all about Entrepreneurship. Wether it is about tips , skills or tools. You can notice about my previous posts and reviewed tools is that I focused only on web-based tools or what they called clouds . There is another word for online tools which is: SAAS which stands for “Software as a Service”. Recently there have have been many startups and most of them provide the same SaaS-concept. I believe that cloud computing or using online tools, is much superior than using traditional softwares and I will explain why.
1- SaaS is much cheaper than a traditional software.
2- SaaS can be accessed online any time and from any where.
3- SaaS can shared by many users, which will increase productivity.
4- SaaS technical support is not a problem as its taken care of by the service provider.
5- In event of a crash, most SaaS vendors provide backup and alternate servers ready to be used immediately.
So Cloud computing will be a great , economic and powerfull technology for Entrepreneurs and startups.
Of course there are some concerns about trust and security. I think if the later aspects are taken seriously by the vendors , I dont see any reason why companies should not use such a technology.
