How IT support firms work together with SaaS experts to put
your business in the cloud
As directors and employees become more mobile and less PC-based,
more and more companies are choosing the SaaS model of office
software. Accordingly, as a prominent IT support firm in
Bristol we are increasingly working with third-party SaaS
experts to help our clients make the transition to the latest
cloud-based office technology.
SaaS stands for 'software as a service', which essentially means
using software via your Internet connection rather than as a
physical installation or download. It is an alternative to fully
installed software systems that run on your company's own IT
infrastructure.
One advantage that the SaaS model offers is that the ability to
access software tends to be less device-dependent, allowing workers
with different computers and mobile devices to access the same
documents and e-mail accounts from wherever they can connect to the
internet. In this way, SaaS can be more versatile than the
traditional setup, although it's worth noting that not every
company will need this level of IT capability.
Although using SaaS reduces the burden of in-house IT
maintenance, most companies that are already using outsourced IT
support will put their SaaS expert in touch with us in order to
work hand in hand throughout the setup and migration. We take care
of everything affecting the user, their computer and its
interaction with the IT network, while the SaaS provider takes care
of user account settings and specific application training.
Benefits of combining two areas of IT expertise
The net result of using two outsourced services in this way is
that your business can achieve maximum agility when it comes to IT
capabilities versus overheads. Your staff get a high level of
technical support on tap, while using software effectively 'on tap'
as well, and as a business manager you enjoy low capital
expenditure, predictable costs and less liability for IT systems
generally.
