Software as a Service has three critical elements that differentiate it from other types of software. Those elements define how the software is licensed, deployed, and most important, architected.
SaaS has been around for nearly two decades, but more recently adoption has accelerated to become standard across all industries and most business functions. For example, SaaS represents over 80 percent of customer relationship management (CRM), over 70 percent of human capital management (HCM), and nearly half of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software by revenue.

See why SaaS is the future of industrial enterprise software, from product development, to manufacturing, and service:
Innovation
With a multi-tenant architecture, updates and upgrades can be deployed more frequently and seamlessly without end users experiencing downtime.
Collaboration
With a non-relational database, data can be manipulated directly, enabling real-time collaboration and simultaneous editing not possible otherwise.
Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO)
Consolidating maintenance, hardware infrastructure, and IT overhead enables vast economies of scale, to reduce overall costs.
SaaS applications deliver benefits that are essential to the success of modern industrial and engineering companies, as remote work is increasing to a permanently higher level than pre-pandemic. To assure the protection of IP in the product development process, IT leaders should carefully examine the cybersecurity capabilities of their cloud-based service providers.
