Tips for buying a SaaS solution

What is it?

SaaS is an abbreviation for Software as a Service. It’s when you have a business application delivered via a web browser, so that you don’t have to go through complicated installations or strict contracts. SaaS-software became mainstream for bigger and smaller companies. Here are some general features of SaaS listed:

• SaaS subscription payment models spread the total cost of ownership over time. This usually makes the system more flexible and affordable.
• The software vendors host and maintain the servers, databases, and the code that makes up an application.
• Accessible from different devices with a network connection. 

Tips for buying a SaaS solution

1. Make sure that the software uses highly secure public cloud services so that both the software and your data are protected.
   
2. It is also interesting if you remain the owner of your data in the cloud-based system. 
   
3. Another big plus is that you can configure the interface according to your own preferences and add or change certain fields.
   
4. It is also great if the system allows you to optimise your unique way of working and hide certain information that you do not need to see.
5. Finally, make sure that the contract gives you access to your data if the seller goes bankrupt. So you can export your data and make a backup whenever you want.
