Software-as-a-service solutions ‘can have business continuity benefits’
October 13, 2010
Using software-as-a-service offerings provided by a third party can help organisations make improvements in the area of business continuity.
This is according to Robert Rutherford, managing director of QuoStar Solutions, who told Fresh Business Thinking one key benefit of using an external service is that if a company’s premises become inaccessible for any reason, business operations will be able to continue.
He added that the best software-as-a-service providers will be keen to provide secure and reliable products to their clients, as their business depends on doing so.
"A reliable supplier will do everything possible to avoid even small outages, as these can damage its reputation and revenue very quickly," Mr Rutherford pointed out.
Last month, Rahul Asthana, marketing director of SAP BusinessBy Design, outlined another benefit of software-as-a-service solutions.
He told TMCNet that the technology can help smaller businesses compete with their larger rivals by allowing them to deploy sophisticated systems as and when they require them.
