Sound too good to be true? We are talking about Web Services technology. It already
exists, and it represents the future of business processes.
Web Services Technology
Wisdom InfoTech believes that Web Services technology will allow enterprises to
build stronger and faster relationships with customers and partners. Web Services
technology is a way to build customized applications for your enterprise using a
vast array of modular, scalable, building blocks. They are called Web Services because
they are web-based—usable by intranet or web—and take advantage of the newest standards
in XML programming.
Wisdom InfoTech offers end-to-end design, development, testing, and rollout for
web services using J2EE and Microsoft .NET platforms. We establish, implement, and
support web services that provide you innovative, convenient tools to conduct your
business. Whether your organization is B2B, B2C, or B2S, web services can revolutionize
your operations from the ground up.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS), also known as Software on Demand, is a new paradigm
that redefines the delivery of software products and usage. Traditionally, customers
buy software products install them in their desktops or networks.
But the old model has some significant drawbacks:
|
|
The user has to
pay for the whole product even if he is interested in using very few features or
uses the product only sparingly.
|
|
|
The user has to
upgrade his installation whenever a new patch or release is made—sometimes even
upgrading the OS because of backward compatibility issues.
|
|
|
he user is stuck
with the same vendor, even if the user is not satisfied with the product or the
support. |
|
|
If a patch or
upgrade is required, the software developer must release multiple versions of the
product for different supported platforms, which increases the release time and
production cost. |
|
|
Differential pricing
is not possible, so the product company is unable to tap all types of consumer.
A user who uses the product sparingly and the user who uses it extensively both
have to pay the same price. |
|
|
On-site installation
means increased support calls, because of installation or configuration issues. |
With SaaS technology, these issues disappear.
With SaaS, software product companies can release their products as a service. The
company hosts and controls access to the product, and allows users to take advantage
of the product through any remote device capable of internet access.
The user makes a one-time
payment for a stipulated amount of time. The user can subscribe to a service in
different membership models e.g. platinum, gold, silver etc.
The user is charged based on his
usage, e.g. based on the services or features the user accesses, time for which
the service is used, etc.
With SaaS, the product company gains these benefits:
|
|
Total control
over the installation, configuration, and upgrades. |
|
|
Quick turnaround
time for new versions. |
|
|
Testing and debugging
are easy, because simulation is more manageable. |
