Realize Your Potential With Fully Hosted SaaS Solutions

You may have read a recent article in Money magazine that stated the obvious - the best time to start a new business is at the end of a recession when the economic demand of the people is beginning to rise again. Not every business can wait for this sweet spot. Many businesses have been in the planning stages for years, set to open their doors (virtual or real) on a very specific schedule. These businesses must move forward. How can they reduce costs to improve their chances of survival while riding out one of the most difficult economies of our lifetime?

Using fully hosted SaaS solutions, businesses can dramatically cut their software expenses. Where original plans called for an outlay of thousands of dollars for software purchases, using "software as a service" can reduce this expense by allowing businesses to pay for only what they use. It is a system that allows businesses to check out the latest versions of the most powerful software on the market.

There are a variety of hosting software available to all businesses regardless of size or scope of operation. The greatest benefit is usually seen with businesses of less than 100 users but benefits are seen in larger corporations as well. One of the greatest savings is seen in the reduced need for IT support. All of the software is centrally managed at server farms located off site in a safe and secure location. It's like having a secondary IT force that you don't have to keep on salary.

There are side benefits of SaaS functionality that are often overlooked. Many of the available hosted software applications have collaboration tools built in. Although these tools have been built into the software, many companies fail to take advantage of their power. They may be unwilling to assign the resources necessary to set them up. They may be thrown off by the perceived complexity of collaborative tools. Software as a Service establishes all of the necessary connections needed to activate the powerful world of collaborative computing. Project management, customer databases and more can be easily shared because the software is held and managed at offsite servers. Everything is connected by a state of the art network.

SaaS is one of the most cost effective ways of deploying software across an enterprise. Savings of up to 80% can be realized by subscribing to software with PHASE 2 rather than purchasing it outright. Businesses always have the latest versions of the software without paying for upgrades. Patches are always in place. The total cost of ownership is drastically reduced. Hosting softwares are the wave of the future. Choosing a hosted software application means you only pay for what you use. When a business enables the power of fully hosted SaaS solutions, the savings and efficiency is realized within hours of activation. PHASE 2 can provide your business with just such power.
