Businesses are benefitting from cloud-based solutions which allow them to “do more for less”.SaaS expert Martino Corbelli explained why such solutions could appeal to enterprises.
A number of studies in recent months have shown that many businesses are considering SaaS for at least some of their IT needs.
One of these studies, conducted by Mimecast, found that 62 per cent of IT decision makers in the US and Canada are giving it careful consideration, with the technology, financial and legal sectors most likely to adopt it.
He said: “Cloud services mean that businesses are able to get the benefits of familiar applications but without the hassle and cost of managing the hardware, software licensing, upgrades and maintenance themselves.
“The continuing difficult financial landscape has meant that businesses have been tasked to do more with less and IT departments are under additional scrutiny to demonstrate the value they provide to the business.”
Mr Corbelli also pointed out that the need for refreshing hardware and software is eliminated by SaaS.
