Software-as-a-service solutions ‘reduce IT workload’

Companies which decide to start using software-as-a-service solutions will be able to reduce the workload facing their IT department, it has been explained.

Writing for ZDNet, Ali Hedayati, president and chief operating officer of Coradiant, said that more and more businesses will start using the technology in the next few years, with this upturn being driven by economic and operational factors.

He pointed out that the pay-as-you-go business model in operation for software-as-a-service solutions means low upfront costs for organisations which choose to use the technology.

"Software-as-a-service companies offload hardware management, maintenance, security and upgrade tasks, reducing the workload within customers’ IT departments," Mr Hedayati added.

He said the offerings also provide "a high-quality user experience, excellent performance and error-free operation".

Earlier this month, SmartData Collective correspondent John Jordan explained that software-as-a-service tools can be employed to help companies to conduct analytics assignments on business data they consider to be important.
