Software as a Service (SaaS)

The most important change sweeping the software industry right now is a fundamental change in business model, from a traditional licensing model to a subscription model. This is known as the Software as a Service (SaaS) or On-Demand model. This model is a dramatic shift in business operations for most software companies, and includes new considerations, such as 24/7 Internet-based service delivery, sales re-training, and product architecture changes.

Extensive offers services to help ISVs make the transition. Our SaaS Transition process includes the following steps:

• Product gap analysis in preparation for SaaS, including multi-tenancy and multi-instance considerations
• Creation of logical service lines
• Training the sales team on selling SaaS
• Creating a logical SaaS buying cycle for customers
• Building or partnering for the necessary service delivery mechanisms to ensure 24/7 uptime and application support
• Legal document creation or modification, including Service Level Agreements (SLA) and Acceptable Use Policies (AUP)
• SaaS ecosystem analysis
