Progress Hosted Applications: Progress and SaaS a Natural Match

Progress software platforms and Progress applications naturally lend themselves to the Software as a Service, or SaaS business model. WebSpeed, for example, is by its very nature a SaaS model. Software as a Service began as the Application Service Provider, or ASP, model, and is now referred to as SaaS, or On-Demand, and used heavily throughout the world. Service Oriented Architecture helps bring to SaaS into being with once intra- and extranet only applications fully migrated onto the Internet. Applications made through our Progress consultants or those you already have in house, and even home-grown are easily run on the SaaS model.

SaaS eliminates over the counter software

The new SaaS model means that end-users will no longer need to locally install software, updates, and upgrades. All software runs on the server side with updates and upgrades managed by the host. Taking the place of a traditional over-the-counter software sale, the SaaS model allows for a subscription based purchase, often with monthly or annual agreements. Some organizations do not require a contract, relying solely on their high quality of service to maintain customer loyalty.

By the year 2009 SaaS sales are projected to reach $10 billion. Progress OpenEdge is considered a top-tier development platform for creating service-oriented standards-based minimal administration SaaS applications.

The SaaS model Means Overall Cost Savings for Your Business

The Software as a Service, or SaaS, business model can be applied at significant cost savings across the board, from Progress applications to collaboration software such as instant messaging (IM) to email, operating systems and Customer Resource Management (CRM). The SaaS model works by enabling your business to receive software applications through a monthly subscription, eliminating many of the costs associated with traditional over-the-counter software packages.
