ISVs in the Cloud… SaaS
23
Total Upheaval Not another delivery mechanism Transition to SaaS is a paradigm shift Selling a Service not a Product Will affect every silo in the organization Introduce new functions and entities Operations, 24X7 support Service Marketing, Service testing Technical Account Managers SLAs, Compliance

The SaaS Organization R&DQualityOpsSupportSalesMarketingFinancePSLegal
25
Engineering Modify (rewrite?) architecture Simpler development – single platform Service readiness Scalability & high availability Short release cycles Adopt agile S/W development Interact more closely with end-users R&DQualityOpsSupportSalesMarketingFinancePSLegal
26
Customer Support User experience, customer sat and success are paramount Important role, higher skills, higher pay All IT communications at your doorsteps Switch to a 24X7 Knowledge upgraded from installation / maintenance to app/domain knowledge Develop problem resolution skills R&DQualityOpsSupportSalesMarketingFinancePSLegal
27
Sales Substantial changes From Elephant hunting to cyber sales From selling a product to selling a service From perpetual to subscription From hunters to farmers From outbound to inside sales Compensation up-front to spread over a year or more Sales cycles shorten dramatically Partners, channels, resellers, SaaS aggregators play a more important role for maximum exposure R&DQualityOpsSupportSalesMarketingFinancePSLegal
28
Success is Not Guaranteed The more successful the ISV, the more entrenched in the old paradigm (SAP) Not in company’s DNA. Switch from product to service. Shift of focus to operations and customer service. Change pace of dev and delivery. Expect push back - Internal resistance to change: R&D, QA, Services, Sales. (MMS) Fear of cannibalization of existing sales
29
The Secret Sauce Vision & Leadership Paradigm shift – need C&V level commitment Pay attention to customers’ needs Ensure a buy-in at all levels – make it a company goal - get Sales involved early
30
Path to Success Offer a sub-system as a POC Acquire SaaS company with complimentary product. Hybrid stage. Insist on phasing out. If possible – spin out company Integrate existing solutions. Many cloud solutions available Get help. Work with Partner not Vendor
