Simple hosting of legacy software 'will not satisfy forward-thinking clients'

Many companies looking to invest in off-site virtualised small business management software should not look to companies which simply want to host their old systems outside of the workplace, it is advised.

Speaking to E-Commerce News, cloud computing expert Jeffrey Kaplan said that cloud computing offers clear advantages when speaking in terms of cost and efficiency, as the ability to access software online is a great asset to the modern business.

Mr Kaplan said: "True SaaS solutions must also deliver greater value as a result of their better ease of use, more flexible pricing, continuous functional enhancements, real-time analytics and data aggregation capabilities, which can be used for more meaningful benchmarking purposes."

It is these attributes that "clearly set real SaaS solutions apart" from legacy software and hardware which is just being taken care of by an offsite vendor, he added.

This month, it was revealed that Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust would be adopting small business management software as a means of cutting down on unnecessary expenditure.
