Ability Scale
SaaS won’t do you much good if the IT you’re demanding won’t support the capacity you need, thus any SaaS solution needs to scale to meet any requirement that a enterprise may have. Scalability is something not well understood. It’s not as much a matter of bandwidth and processing power but the ability to operate at a capacity that meets the business needs of the organization. There is a difference.
Ability to Adjust Cost with Need
The primary business driver of SaaS is the ability to pay for only the service you need and use, thus the economics are compelling. Many large organizations in the 90s spent millions of dollars on enterprise class software licenses which went largely unused. While the large enterprise software companies loved this model, many businesses did not realize the value for their IT dollar. SaaS is therefore more compelling.
