The SaaS
model has proliferated in the last few years because of myriad
benefits it offers to multifarious businesses. Vendors across the US
and Canada have been
successfully providing cloud-based SaaS enrollment management
solutions (software for lifelong
learning programs)
for continuing and corporate education programs. Here’s why
customers are driving towards SaaS solutions:
1. SaaS
has a differential regarding costs, as it is generally hosted in a
shared or multi-tenant environment where the hardware and software
license costs are much lower.
2.Maintenance
costs are scaled down as well since the SaaS provider owns the
environment and is divided among customers that use that solution.
3.
Unlike the traditional model, in SaaS the software
for higher education is installed and configured beforehand. This
cuts down the
time spent in installation and configuration, thus evaporating
the issues that can get in the way of software
implementation.
4. SaaS
solutions exist in a cloud environment that is extremely scalable and
can be integrated with other SaaS offerings as well.
Since the
SaaS
provider manages all updates and upgrades, there are no patches for
customers to download or install.
The
SaaS provider also manages availability, so there’s no need for
customers to add hardware, software, or bandwidth as the user base
grows.
