3. Ability to adjust cost with need
4. Ability change quickly
5. Ability propagate new features
6. Ability to drive real time
7. Ability to define the value within current business

Ability to Deploy Rapidly

While speed kills on the highway, it has the opposite effect on business. SaaS, means the ability to get your information technology as you need it and purposed properly. The time between need and deployment needs to be days and weeks, not months even year. We should consider technology like a water tap, when needed we turn it on getting just the amount we need.

For instance, say there is a critical business need to combine sales data with credit data, both in different system in different companies. Traditional forms of integration could take a year or more to design and deploy…too slow for modern business. However leveraging integration SaaS, you’re able to access the integration technology you need, typically without having to deploy software within your own infrastructure.
