What is Saas?

Saas definition Software as a service is a software application delivery model where a software vendor develops a web-native software application and hosts and operates (either independently or through a third-party) the application for use by its customers over the Internet. Customers do not pay for owning the software itself but rather for using it. They use it through an API accessible over the Web and often written using Web Services or REST. Wikipedia 2008

Saas definition Software that is: Owned, delivered and managed remotely by one or more providers The application is based on a single set of common code and data definitions It is consumed in a one-to-many model by all contracted customers It uses a pay-for-use model or a subscription model based on usage metrics Gartner Group 2008

Saas definition Software applications hosted on remote servers and made available to end users via a Web browser and on a subscription-based business model Key characteristics: Network based access and management Activities managed from a central location, enabling users to access applications remotely via the web Applications delivery closer to one-to-many model (multi-tenant architecture) including architecture, pricing, partnering and management characteristics Sage Group 2007

Saas is not: Outsourcing - utilising any external agency or organisation to fulfil an element of business management, for instance to man a call centre or run a company’s payroll Hosting – provision of access to software installed remotely, probably including data management

The market

The SaaS market

Adoption of SaaS varies widely across software markets: –As little as 1% of total software revenue in some markets and more than 75% in others Adoption is highest in applications that support: –simplified, common business processes or –large, distributed virtual workforce teams On-premise sales growing in single figures (9%) SaaS sales growing in double figures (22%) Gartner 2007

The SaaS market

Architecture

SaaS stack Metering & Billing Subscription & Provisioning Indexing, App servers, Mobile support Hardware, Hosting and IT Support Identity Security Session Presentation Frameworks SaaS Applications

Factors driving adoption A shortage of skilled professional resources, within internal IT departments and system integrator organisations Painful reminders of lengthy, unsuccessful deployment cycles spur buyers to investigate simpler, quicker alternatives Increasing familiarity with the Internet, improvements in security and an increase in broadband availability The benefits of rapid deployment, less upfront capital investment and a decreased reliance on limited implementation resources Responsibility for continuous operation, backups, updates and infrastructure maintenance shifts to vendors or service providers Line-of-business ownership reduces dependency on internal IT

Market inhibitors Concerns about data security and critical customer information Initial investment costs required to create an on- demand infrastructure environment restrict new market entrants Investments in applications, capital and organizational expertise limit growth Complex process requirements constrain adoption of simplified, standardized solutions Regulations governing data privacy and protection vary by country and may restrict adoption of some vendors' solutions in certain areas An inability for vendors to shift to a service- based model for either architectural or cultural reasons

Implications for the buyer

Buyer benefits Low cost infrastructure Low cost of entry & ownership – subscription model Rapid deployment Simplified configuration & customization tools No ongoing resource requirements for back-end system management Access from anywhere - ideal for distributed workforce Creates environment allowing collaboration between many different parties Upgrades are included and regular Lower switching costs Experimentation with emerging technologies is less risky

Collaboration

Buyer issues Integration requirements with existing applications Security of data Lack of competitive differentiation Less ability to negotiate customized contracts Weakened IT management control More basic functionality in some cases New vendor management skills required

Implications for the service provider

Service provider benefits Low initial cost for users makes buying cycle short Getting customers to add more users and buy access to more functionality later is easier –Can start with a simple application Leveraging the "long tail” –you can service more smaller customers that are unreachable at traditional price/performance ratios SaaS thus should feature less complexity at a lower price, offered to large numbers of prospects No need to support many older versions Growing market

Service provider issues For existing software houses: –Organizational implications of moving from a product- centric to a service-centric delivery model –Beware cannabilising the on-premise market For start-ups: –Cashflow develops over time – building a business is hard For both: –Strong incentive to make adoption as viral as possible – so usability is key –Reliability of hosted service is critical

Session Summary SaaS is a growing market Most suitable for supporting simpler processes Good for distributed processes Risky revenue model for start-up businesses Good for ‘long tail’ markets
