Benefit From Low Cost Of Ownership With Cloud Software

Software in the cloud is easy to maintain, secure, and cost effective.

How is cloud software different?

The term “cloud” came into our technology lexicon in 2006 when companies like Google and Amazon started accessing software and files over the web and not from programs loaded on desktop computers. This type of software today is referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS).

Before the cloud, software and data were stored on servers located on your company’s premises, this is commonly referred to as “on-prem” software.

Software as a Service (SaaS) refers to solutions delivered via cloud computing, with the software vendor maintaining ownership and responsibility for the software and hardware infrastructure that delivers the product. Buyers pay a fee to access SaaS software over an internet connection, instead of paying to own a copy of the product via licensing.

On-Premises is a software delivery model which is installed and operated from a company’s in-house server and computing infrastructure. It builds on an enterprise’s legacy computing resources and requires a licensed or purchased copy of software from an independent software vendor.

Why is cloud computing important for you?

On-prem software is loaded on your computer, it is only accessible to you, and it is maintained by your IT department. Your IT department will interrupt your work to update the software as needed. You only have access to your software and files from the one computing device. All this has changed with cloud computing.

Software cost of ownership

The real cost of on-premises software is in the hidden expenses to implement and maintain the software and the infrastructure to host the software.

A cloud software subscription is an on-going, predictable cost with minimal hidden costs since the software vendor manages the on-going maintenance of the software and infrastructure..

Customers can spend up to 4 times the cost of their software license per year to own and manage their (on premise) applications.”
