There is software (that miraculous and sometimes maddening invention of programmers and developers that somehow manages, organizes and manipulates your most precious business and personal data). And there is service a word I have come to understand as having something to do with a business helping you by providing attention, expertise or products in exchange for a fee). But, can there really be something called Software as a Service?
Yes! Software as a Service is a wonderful new(ish) invention that allows you to get all the features and functionality of a software package without all the headaches of implementation, installation, deployment, and maintenance and support. It can be accessed via the internet so you can use it from anywhere and, the best part is, someone else has to maintain and support it.
Outsourcing wasn’t always fun! In the old days, technology outsourcing involved merciless torture, unresponsive consultants and a mess created by geeks who were clueless about your business. Well, you can finally put down your sword! You no longer have to fight off outsourcing providers to protect the castle!
Today outsourcing offers value for every business. You focus on the things that make you the market sweetheart (core competencies) and we handle the pesky tech tasks you don’t do well (we all have them). Outsourcing services let you optimize results with staff augmentation and skilled resources, and the good news is that the team can be embedded with your team or removed from the day-to-day.
