Benefits of SaaS based Membership Management Software in Business

What is SaaS?

In simple words, SaaS (Software as a service) is software available for use online. There is no need to download it. You just need to sign up on the internet and use it. Like Yahoo/Gmail, one just needs to sign up in order to use them.

Earlier, we all remember the time when software had to be downloaded according to the space available on hard disks. With bandwidth issues, it would consume a lot of time to download a 6MB software, if the dial-up connection was running fine.

Today, such inconsistencies are hardly there. Bandwidths have improved, downloads happen within seconds and one does not need to maintain software on their own. We see a stride where software is reused, which has already been hosted somewhere.

SaaS is nothing but a software distribution model in which a third-party provider hosts applications and the same is made available to customers over the internet. SaaS is one of the three main categories of cloud computing, alongside infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS).

With SaaS, the need for organizations to install and run applications on their own computers or their own data centers is eliminated. This abolishes the expense of hardware acquisition, provisioning, and maintenance, as well as software licensing, installation, and support.

Common SaaS scenarios

Be it Outlook, Hotmail, or Yahoo!, if you have used any of these web-based email services, then you have already used a form of SaaS. This email software is located on the service provider’s network and your messages are stored there as well. You can access your email and stored messages from a web browser on any computer or internet-enabled device.

The above examples are free services for personal use. In case if you want to use such services for organizational use, you would want to rent productivity apps, such as email, collaboration, and calendaring; and sophisticated business applications such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and document management. These applications can be used by paying a subscription fee according to the level of use.
