Benefits of SaaS

Wikipedia
describes Software-as-a-Service (SaaS for short) as a software delivery model in which
software and associated data are centrally hosted on the cloud.
Yetti
is just one of those SaaS platforms. The model is seeing wider and wider
adoption across our industry, for a number of good reasons.
SaaS
platforms require no software or hardware installations or maintenance. As a
result deployment times can be reduced to minutes rather than months.
Significantly,
this can also reduce the drain on already stretched IT resources – both
physically and financially. As we manage and maintain the servers on your
behalf, you don’t have to wrestle with the day-to-day operational, performance
and scalability issues – meaning you can concentrate on designing and
developing websites for your clients.
Using
the cloud for your website requirements enables you to instantly scale your
site to meet changing demands – Yetti includes unlimited storage and bandwidth.
The cloud offers a cost-effective approach because you don't need to make large
upfront capital investments, try to predict usage patterns, or install
expensive hardware or software to meet changing demands.
Unlike
traditional software, which often requires costly and laborious backups, using
a SaaS solution removes this task. Yetti provides automatic backups without the
need of your intervention: meaning the integrity of your data is always
protected.
As
a subscriber, you also get the benefit of regular, small upgrades and updates.
At Yetti we are always getting feedback from our clients and making
improvements to the platform itself – you’ll find a few described in earlier
blogs for example. We operate a single instance of the platform, which powers
every site, meaning that updates and improvements roll out to every client at
exactly the same time.
SaaS
solutions also make it possible to work on projects from anywhere that has an Internet
connection – enabling teams to work more effectively and efficiently.
