SaaS

Software as a Service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based applications over the Internet. Common examples include email, calendars and IT tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).

SaaS offers a complete software solution that is hosted by a cloud service provider on a pay-as-you-go model. You rent the use of an application for your organization and users connect to it via the internet, usually with a web browser. All underlying infrastructure, middleware, software and application data are located in the provider's data center.

The service provider manages the hardware and software and, with the appropriate service contract, will also ensure the availability and security of the application and its data.e branch offices. SaaS enables an organization to get up and running and run applications with minimal cost.

A service derived from SaaS, is to additionally count with Hardware as a Service (HaaS), or equipment on loan as it is regularly known in Mexico. OLIN Mixtli, presents both scenarios.

SaaS benefits:

Gain access to sophisticated applications. To offer SaaS applications to users, you do not need to buy, install, upgrade or maintain any hardware, middleware or software. With SaaS, even sophisticated business applications, such as ERP and CRM, are within reach of organizations that do not have the resources to afford, deploy and manage the necessary infrastructure and software.
Pay only for what you use. It also saves money, because the SaaS service allows resources to be scaled up or down vertically depending on the level of use.
Use free client software. Users can run most SaaS applications directly from a web browser without downloading and installing any software, although some applications require plug-ins. This means that you do not have to purchase or install special software for your users.
Easily mobilize your personnel. With SaaS, it is very easy to "mobilize" your personnel, because users can access SaaS applications and data from any computer or mobile device connected to the Internet. You don't have to worry about developing applications that run on different types of equipment and devices, since that has already been done by the service provider. In addition, there is no need to bring in qualified personnel to manage the security aspects of mobile computing. A carefully chosen service provider will ensure the security of your data, regardless of the type of device you use.
Get access to application data from anywhere. With data stored in the cloud, users can access their information from any computer or mobile device connected to the Internet. And when application data is stored in the cloud, it is not lost if an error occurs on a user's computer or device.
