What is SaaS
SaaS is can be defined as “software deployed as a hosted service
and accessed over the Internet.”
SaaS is a model of software deployment where an application is
licensed for use as a service provided to customers on demand. Usage
of SaaS alleviates the customer's burden of buying a heavily priced
software. It also reduces traditional software licensing, maintenance,
ongoing operation patches, and patch support complexity in an
organization. Saas helps you to pay variable expense, rather than a
fixed cost at the time of purchase. It also enables licensing only the
amount of software needed versus traditional licenses per device.
Benefits of SaaS

goes in buying of a software. How much money is involved in buying a software.

connection will do.

Cost effectiveness of SaaS
There are three main ways a SaaS model is cost-effective:
1. Low initial outlay.
A traditional TCO (Total cost of ownership) hospital management software has huge
considerable initial investment. This is in the form of license fees, also usually includes travel
costs and, typically, a drawn-out RFP/Proposal process (think man-hours – and diversion from
their regular work), not to mention studies of IT compatibility issues, and then one of the
biggest challenges are hardware purchase of new servers, workstations, routers etc. to
support the new boon to your operation. Where as a SaaS model, on the other hand, involves
little or no up-front cash. You can stretch your investment out over time, leaving a healthy
cash flow available for core operations or other advancements.
2. Long Term Savings.
SaaS model benefits without having to use your whole budget up front. When you use SaaS
model, It helps you in using the software for more years and you still maintain a net savings
over purchasing.
3. Efficiency.
SaaS model is perfect for you, when the fact that you can add or drop items month-to-month
means you aren’t likely to pay for features you don’t need. Nor are you unable to adopt new
ones when necessary. Custom-tailor make your SaaS model the way it suits you –
dynamically, in step with your operational or budgetary criteria.
