What’s the difference between Sales Channel Analytics delivered over the web as ‘software as a service’ (SaaS), and traditional client-server installed Sales Channel Analytics software solutions? Lots.
Traditional Sales Channel Communications software has been overtaken in recent years by ‘software as a service’ (Saas) models, also known as “online Sales Channel Communications”, “hosted Sales Channel Communications, and “on-demand Sales Channel Communications.” Today, more companies than ever are turning to the Web for business applications and solutions like Sales Channel Communications.
Why are companies looking? Because to accelerate sales through these turbulent times, it’s more important than ever to be on top of every lead, every opportunity, and every customer interaction. Without a large capital software investment that’s expensive. With Software as a Service’s (SaaS) pay-as-you-go model, the price of accelerated sales is dramatically lower.
Web based Sales Channel Communications gives you Rapid Time to Value. Eliminating the need for a big up-front capital investment offers an immediate shortcut to Sales Channel Communications success-and money in your pocket in the form of much quicker ROI than most Sales Channel Communications software.
Web-Based Sales Channel Communications Offers Quick Deployment.
Hosted implementations usually happen in a matter of weeks or months-compared to 12 months or longer with traditional client/server enablement software.
Hosted Sales Channel Communications Makes Customization Much Easier.
With online Sales Channel Management solutions, basic customizations are easy, so even non-techie users can make changes in minutes via a friendly interface.
On-Demand CRM Provides Ultimate Scalability.
Sales Channel Communications as SaaS uses a multitenant approach, so there’s no single instance of the software and you can scale your implementation fast-without incurring high costs or waiting weeks or months.
Web Sales Channel Communications Features Painless Upgrades.
Because deployments of new Sales Channel Management features are almost instant, you’re always using the latest version with web-based Sales Channel Management systems-so upgrades are easy and painless. Going through an upgrade of a Sales Channel Management product is just like when your favorite consumer facing sites, like Web-based email, upgrade all of your “stuff” is there and working right away. You’ll never even notice the change.
To Summarize:
On-Premise Sales Channel Communications Software.
The outdated, client/server model for on-premise Sales Channel Communications software requires you to invest in an IT infrastructure, including networks and servers, to run the software. You also need to hire a team of IT professionals to install, deploy, and maintain the software as the vendor makes enhancements to features or functionality.
Web Based Sales Channel Management Solutions.
Web-based Sales Channel Management, hosted Sales Channel Management, on-demand Sales Channel Management, software-as-a-service (SaaS) Sales Channel Management-all these terms refer to the same thing: a new model for delivering Sales Channel Management over the Web. With this popular type of Sales Channel Management offered by a provider like Sendside, there’s no software or hardware to buy, install, maintain, or upgrade.
