EPOS  Software as a Service

Introduction to SaaS

Solutions for your business – EPOS software as a service (SaaS) is a relatively recent concept, where software providers offer their services over the internet via a broadband connection.

A couple of Software as a Service example that most of us are familiar with is Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.

Both are subscription software services that allow multiple users to access the same software and information from anywhere and store their data via the cloud.

This is a modern twist on the provision of software services, which were traditionally purchased as a package, and then installed, set up, and managed entirely on-site.

Updates, fixes, expansions, and enhancements were all prompted and managed by the end-user.

SaaS is a cloud-based service, centrally hosted and managed by the software provider. All software services, from updates to storage, are delivered by the software service provider via an internet connection.

Benefits for your business

Instant

This type of service model can offer several benefits to a business. SaaS applications are delivered via the web, so software services can be made available immediately after purchase, with very little set-up time.

Low set up costs

Software as a Service works as a subscription service, so essentially you are retaining an ongoing pay-as-you-go licence to use the software. This means the initial set-up costs are low, making it a popular option for new business owners, and for small businesses who don’t want a large initial outlay.

Fixed ongoing costs

The ongoing service costs are fixed and regular, typically monthly or annually, making budgeting an easier task. In addition, there are usually no long contract commitments required, but it’s always a good idea to check before you sign up.

Hassle-free

SaaS is more flexible than traditional software. Updates and fixes can be delivered instantly and without disruption to the user, and everything is handled by the service provider.

Reduced downtime

The business saves labour and downtime on system maintenance. Tasks like updating software, maintaining servers, storing data, and creating backups no longer need to be managed by the user. All technical issues are dealt with by the service provider, allowing the business more time to focus on itself and its customers.

Scalability

The Software as a Service model supports scalability and grows with your business. As your business expands, so too can your software. Services can be customised, adapted, and enhanced all via web delivery, making development fast and efficient. No physical hardware is required, meaning items such as extra user licences or additional storage can be delivered instantly. Your technology always matches your business requirements and is always up to date.

Software anywhere

Web delivery allows your software and data to be accessible for you anywhere, anytime, once you have an internet connection.

Easy integrations

Leading SaaS applications will be built with the ability to integrate with your other software programs via application programming interfaces (APIs), so every piece of software that your business requires works in harmony together. There is no need to replace all your third-party software.
