In a nutshell
No investment in hardware, lower initial investment in software, easy implementation and maintenance, scalability, global availability, flexibility, ease of use and lower costs.
Reduce IT costs, increase productivity and achieve better flexibility and scalability of the IT infrastructure.
1. no investment in hardware
SaaS solutions are hosted by providers in the cloud so that companies do not have to buy their own hardware or servers.
This saves costs and simplifies the IT infrastructure.
As a result, SaaS solutions enable small companies/companies without an established IT infrastructure to benefit from complex and powerful software without having to purchase, maintain and operate the necessary infrastructure.
2. no high initial investment for the software itself
In addition to the elimination of investments in hardware, high initial investments for the software itself are also eliminated.
>In the past, for example, it was not uncommon to purchase an enterprise software solution for between €100,000 and €500,000, depending on the size of the company, but these initial investments are no longer necessary with SaaS solutions.
The customer activates the software from the cloud, uses it and pays for its use on a monthly basis.
The company can benefit from the software right from the start without having to make a large initial investment.
3. easy implementation and maintenance
As SaaS solutions are provided and updated by the providers in the cloud, companies do not have to worry about implementing and maintaining the software.
This saves time, resources, infrastructure and, for example, the need to first build up internal IT expertise for the provision and operation of the necessary infrastructure before it would be possible to use purchased and locally operated software.
4. scalability
SaaS solutions are generally scalable.
This means that a company can initially make the software available to just a few users and then make the system available to any number of additional users.
The company then only pays for the respective users without fixed costs or rigid cost barriers.
Scaling up to several thousand users is no problem.
5. global availability
Along with the high scalability, another advantage is that SaaS solutions can be accessed from anywhere via a web browser as long as an internet connection is available.
This means that companies can have their employees working in different locations and even in their home office without this affecting the use of the software.
Even in the event of defective hardware devices, it is easy to switch and seamlessly transfer to other devices at any time.
Software such as axxalon flow is accessed as a web-based application and can therefore be operated independently of the device.
6. flexibility
SaaS systems are usually highly flexible, allowing companies to customize the use of the software to their needs.
This means that companies only pay for what they actually need and can add or remove additional functions as required.
To offer customers these benefits, axxalon flow is also made up of individual modules.
The customer only pays for the modules that the company wants to use.
Additional modules can be added to the system at any time.
7. user-friendliness
SaaS solutions are often user-friendly and easy to use.
This means that companies do not have to spend a lot of time and money on training and education to prepare their employees to use the software.
This is the result of SaaS software manufacturers taking the high scalability and flexibility that a SaaS-based business model requires into account from the outset when developing their products.
These are also the basic maxims for the continuous further development of axxalon flow.
8. lower costs
SaaS solutions can very often be more cost-effective for companies than installing and maintaining their own software as a result of the points listed above.
Companies usually pay a monthly or annual fee and do not have to worry about the costs of maintenance, upgrades and other IT costs.
Summary
In a nutshell, Software as a Service (SaaS) offers a wide range of benefits that help companies to reduce their IT costs, increase productivity and improve the flexibility and scalability of their IT infrastructure.
axxalon flow now also offers these benefits as an MES for the manufacturing industry.
