A SaaSy Salesforce.com video
Over the past few years, Salesforce.com have undoubtedly been the leading lights in furthering awareness of the Software as a Service (SaaS) model and, more recently, Cloud Computing (this article explains the subtle difference between the two).
Yesterday, one of their sales reps sent me a link to an excellent video which, in just a few minutes, clearly lays out the benefits of using applications delivered using the cloud computing (and SaaS) model, compared to self-hosted software.
Their arguments are as applicable to our business (web-based collaboration for construction and engineering projects) as to theirs (customer relationship management solutions). We often get asked by companies why they should use a SaaS-delivered project collaboration system when they (or their head contractor) already have a document management system. So, if you want to get a fun and easy-to-digest overview of why SaaS-delivered systems are the best way to go, this video is a good place to start.
