Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors are becoming increasingly popular as they offer richer features with cost efficient solutions for their customers. These services reduce the initial software cost of various applications and allow companies to use "pay as you go" methods when utilizing the software. Another excellent benefit is that the hosted single–source nature of SaaS allows latest versions and integration of new features to be deployed quickly and become immediately available to all users – without the intensive process of updating hundreds or thousands of user desktop machines.

Since the software is used remotely, the availability of the applications are critical and extremely sensitive to interruptions. Hosted managed services from a reputable company like ORCS Web are extremely valuable and critical architectural considerations for SaaS vendors.

ORCS Web understands both the value of SaaS and the complexities involved in supporting the hosted software. Wendi Lee, principal at Reel-Scout, a SaaS vendor providing critical services for the film industry, writes that they "appreciate the stability and affordability of ORCSWeb's products and services.  It allows us to concentrate on being our Film & Entertainment industry's business experts while providing unmatched hardware, network, and OS support and services at a world-class level."

If you are a SaaS vendor and would like to have a discussion about how we might help you improve your efficiency, lower your costs, and provide even better services to your end users - please feel free to contact me directly (Brad.Kingsley[at]orcsweb.com) or send email to us at sales@orcsweb.com.

Happy Hosting!
