Software as a Service (ASP)
Software as a Service (SaaS) is an alternative and new delivery model whereby customers pay for software licences through the use of them rather than through ownership. The software is hosted by Qube Global Software and is accessed by the customer over the Internet.
Within an SaaS delivery model, the software availability becomes the responsibility of Qube Global Software and we are therefore responsible for the hardware support, software maintenance, performance monitoring, security, user scalability, backups and disaster recovery processes.
With Qube Global Software taking responsibility for these ‘overhead’ type activities, the customer can shift their IT resources away from focusing on the deployment and support of applications on their own servers to instead managing the relationship and services the application provides.
This switch to service provision rather than technology support allows customer IT resources to focus more on high value activities that are in alignment with business goals and therefore add more to the bottom line.
