Addressing SaaS deployments
The traditional argument is that On-Demand requires no hardware investment to implement, has little to no impact on internal technical resources and can be implemented in weeks as opposed to months.
Yet a recent study by a leading research firm highlights four essential project challenges that enterprises considering Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) need to confront and resolve:
- Integrating SaaS workflows with enterprise business processes
- Collaboration across business units or other enterprises
- Customizing and personalizing business workflow
- Utilizing SaaS business analytics, solutions and services
Delivering the promised ROI for On-Demand is not “out-of the-box” without proper project planning due to an increased need to standardize processes across the organization.
