Managed Email : You have three types of email services out there. Simple mail without any frills, and mail with bells and whistles like shares calendars,public folders, mobile sync, etc. Simple mail (SMTP and POP3) come fairly cheap, Hosted mail with bells and whistles- the type offered by Microsoft's Exchange server or Zimbra is costly in comparison, But you will be left to manage the server. Managed email with the bells and whistles (where someone manages your Zimbra or Exchange accounts) is even more costly. Way more costly.
Reduced operational management requirements: Saas can be a boon to resource-constrained companies that do not have the resources, such as database administrators,to implement an on-premise application.
Lower upgrade costs:
The Saas model reduces the cost of upgrading from one version of the software to another considerably compared with on-premise costs. Since the model is a multi-tenant architecture, the cost of all software, in-frastructure and expertise is shared by a large number of customers.
Lower switching costs:
The Saas gives the customer the freedom to easily make the switch from one solution provider to another. This freedom to easily walk away from a provider, works as a motivator to introduce better features and ensures optimum performance. Many customers would have invested a considerable amount of money in implementation,integration, customization, testing, training, maintenance and upgrades (sometimes five to seven times othe amount of money spent on licenses). Despite of the problems in the set-up, the on-premise ERP will exist as a necessary evil and the difficulty arises when the customer wants to evaluate any new vendor.
Increased Accessibility and Productivity:
Web based applications gives the freedom to access the information from any part of the globe at the click of a bottom.
