A combination of macro-market trends is changing the priorities of companies
of all sizes. The advent of globalization and ecommerce are fundamentally
reshaping the competitive landscape. At the same time, advancements in
mobile technology are allowing employees to work anywhere.
This combination is forcing companies to seek more effective ways to
leverage business applications to meet their corporate objectives and
respond to their changing operational needs.
After struggling to deploy and maintain traditional, on-premise software
applications for years, many companies are adopting or considering a new
generation of "on-demand", Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) alternatives to
satisfy their rapidly changing business requirements.
These SaaS alternatives offer attractive benefits including,
Accelerated deployment
Lower support requirements
"Pay-as-you-go" pricing
Flexible utilization models
