10 Things you Need to Know about Software as a Service

There has been a most definite revolution in digital technology over the past decade, or more, and one of the biggest changes has come in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).

SaaS is a dynamic tool that has changed the way that corporations do business, and the way that we communicate with our customers and clients. SaaS has been implemented by both small and large businesses and the results have been staggering.

SaaS is the software of the future and as far as we are concerned it is already absolutely indispensable. Unfortunately, there are some people, and businesses, who still seem to be in the dark about what SaaS can actually do, so here is a top ten list of things we love about Software as a Service.

1. SaaS is So Easy To Use!

Right at the top of our list is the fact that SaaS products are so easy to use. We can’t think of another application that an entire business operation can use right after being installed. SaaS apps are typically used on an Internet browser which means that anyone with basic Internet skills can be up and running in no time at all. And that, of course, means increased business growth… instantly!

2. Integration is Simple

SaaS is ridiculously easy to set-up! Most small businesses will be able to run the software incredibly quickly. Importing existing contacts and business information can take only a matter of minutes. SaaS applications are accessible on any computer and, as we said before, tend to have a very low learning curve. Software as a Service is intuitive and everything is linked in a dynamic way that makes absolute sense. After entering all of your business details it is incredibly easy to let the software do the work and you will be creating invoices in a matter of minutes. Your invoices and estimates can be generated, customized, delivered and paid all from within the SaaS interface which eliminates the need to use yet another separate application.

3. SaaS Makes Businesses More Efficient

Who doesn’t want to be more efficient in the workplace? Running an efficient office is the aim of every business owner. SaaS is a solution that gives you the power to manage projects, clients, staff, invoicing, tasks, communications, file sharing, and much more. With Software as a Service there is no more moving in between one application to another, exporting and importing contacts, learning new software and terminology, etc. It gives you the power to organize all of your essential information in one place, storing all your business information within the application, rather than on your computer.

4. The SaaS Project Management Tool

Software as a Service helps you keep all customer and client information organized and stored in a secure location. The SaaS Project Management Tool allows you to make notes and set goals at every stage on a project, making it incredibly easy for your customers and clients to follow projects as they progress. Instead of having to send numerous emails to keep everyone in-the-loop, it is now incredibly easy for everyone involved in a project to be aware of what progress is being made at any stage. This adds momentum to every project your business undertakes and helps to build secure and long-lasting relationships with your clientele.

5. SaaS Helps You Become an Expert at Customer Relations

SaaS Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software makes it possible for businesses to track potential leads through something called a Sales Funnel. Having a system in place that tracks sales and potential leads is becoming more and more important to contemporary businesses. The SaaS Sales Funnel allows you to track information about customers and potential clients making it much easier to be able to offer appropriate services. SaaS incorporates lead tracking software that will help your company manage numerous potential leads simultaneously. What we really love about CRM is that it allows you to make notes and set actions at every single stage of a project. Rather than having to labor over countless emails, to keep everyone in-the-loop, it is now possible for everyone involved in a project to be aware of its progress. This advance in communication means that every project you take on has continuity and helps you to build better relationships with customers.

6. The SaaS Notifications App

Thankfully SaaS makes it possible for you to run a mobile office, no matter where you are, via the notifications app. The notifications application is incredibly easy to set-up and will sync everything in unison with the web browser on your desktop computer. That, of course, means that there is no longer any need to log on to numerous devices and manage updates on each of them as everything is automatically in sync.

7. SaaS is Available on a Subscription Basis

The economical aspects of integrating new software into a company are always an important consideration, but now that SaaS is available on a subscription basis it means there is no huge outlay to begin with. One of the best things about having SaaS Subscription is the fact that the software is continually updated, meaning that we always have the very latest version available at our fingertips.

8. Using SaaS to Organize a Team

It is essential in business for every member of your staff to know what their day-to-day duties are and that information needs to be absolutely clear. With SaaS it is incredibly easy to set-up individual and general tasks, reminders and alerts for your team to follow to the letter. Having clear task management is essential in the running of a skillful business. Projects are better handled when they are broken down into straightforward steps allowing you to create tasks not only for your staff but clients too. SaaS can break down projects into files, tasks, notes, events and reminders so that everybody is clear on what needs to be done at every stage of a project.

9. Increased Security Measures

The problem of data protection has been a huge concern for business owners in recent years. Most businesses send large amounts of information daily and in a variety of ways, but how can you really know that your data is secure? Using a one browser interface obviously reduces the risk of your important information being intercepted, but with SaaS there are an almost unlimited number of physical security measures in place to keep your data safe in secure data centers.

10. SaaS Helps to Maximize Growth

SaaS has been expertly designed to maximize business growth with as little hassle as possible. It enables users to manage projects, increase productivity as well meet important deadlines. Every member of your staff instantly has access to every piece of information they need and will be easily able to organize documents which means they are becoming more effective and productive in their work. This means that you and your team will be able to increase your company’s revenue incredibly quickly and who doesn’t want that?
