Software As A Service
Enabling Software as a Service
The Software as a Service (SaaS) wave is dramatically changing the software business. SaaS is a model for software delivery where a software company publishes one copy of their software on the Internet and allows individuals and companies to "rent" it through a subscription model. The software company centrally operates, maintains and supports all its customers using this centralized service.
SaaS is a rapidly growing trend in the software market. Industry analysts
like IDC and Gartner are forecasting the SaaS market to grow at 25%
compound rate over the next five years reaching $19.3 billion worldwide
by 2011.
Challenges
Software companies face substantial challenges moving from a traditional software business to a SaaS business model. AnyWare Group is working with software vendors to address these challenges. Some of the challenges we hear from software vendors are:
Our Solution
AnyWare Group (AWG) has helped software companies address the challenges
through our customized MySoftwareAnyWare solution.
Time to market
AWG, using our patented ROAM technology, allows software vendors (SV)
to deliver their software over the Internet within weeks.
Expensive re-write of client/server software to become web-enabled
Our MySoftwareAnyWare solution allows SVs to publish their software
product without the need to re-write any software. The software must
support multiple users in a LAN environment and run under Microsoft's
Windows 2000 operating system or later.
Expensive infrastructure investment
AWG offers solutions that do not need large capital investment as we
provide a managed service including all infrastructure required to host
and publish the vendor's software to the Internet.
Increasing software installation and support costs
AWG provides a centralized hosted environment so that there is no software
to install or maintain on the customer's premises. Backups are done
automatically ensuring important customer information is not lost.
Special IT expertise to provide on-line services
AWG provides all the technology and expertise to publish, maintain and
operate an ISV's software product. The existing IT staff can continue
to focus on growing product capabilities and features without needing
to learn an entirely new skill set or technology
