Comments on: Software as a Service (SAAS) http://smallbusiness.logoworks.com/bizblog/2008/06/software-as-a-service-saas/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:53:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Aditya Gholap http://smallbusiness.logoworks.com/bizblog/2008/06/software-as-a-service-saas/#comment-87 Aditya Gholap Fri, 27 Jun 2008 04:15:19 +0000 http://smallbusiness.logoworks.com/bizblog/?p=51#comment-87 I disagree with your definition of Saas - i dont think Saas is only outsourcing - its also about using software tools as a service to say boost productivity or increase control. For example i use a project management tool called <a href="http://www.deskaway.com/" rel="nofollow"> Deskaway </a> - it helps me manage tasks, get an idea of where the business is headed by analyzing micro projects (i own a services & media company so that's essential) - i also get to share material and content with my team. In addition - now DA will allow me to systemize my processes by replicating them - so its process management as well. This was just a one off example to show you that Saas is not just about outsourcing a business function. My philosophy is that Saas can be used to integrate business functions better. So you have CRM tools such as Zoho, invoicing tools and other tools that you listed as well. Dont care about the tools, am more bothered about the philosophy - would love ur views I disagree with your definition of Saas - i dont think Saas is only outsourcing - its also about using software tools as a service to say boost productivity or increase control.
