2007
has been a year of massive consolidation, with traditional enterprise
software vendors attempting to assemble suites of software applications
by acquisition. These vendors are desperate to reduce the high cost
of integration and risk of failure that are often associated with
the enterprise software industry.
But it’s also been a year of fantastic success for the ever-growing
number of companies reporting the benefits they’ve gained by
adopting on-demand business applications that are pre-integrated through
the software as a service (SaaS) model. For these companies, the debate
over the pros and cons of choosing best-of-breed solutions versus
all-in-one software suites is over. Ecosystems of SaaS applications
have emerged where best-of-breed on-demand applications and platforms
can be easily mixed and matched allowing businesses to get the combined
benefits through seamless integration with minimal time and effort
and with a high probability of success.
On-demand
applications are particularly well suited for the technology industry.
Software as a service aligns with the needs of technology companies
for agility, flexibility and distributed business models coupled with
capital preservation and rapid growth.
