Take a look at the Cloud. No, not the one out your window, but those that have become critical to personal and business success today. The ‘Cloud,’ as it’s referred to, is an innovative concept of securely sharing files, data, and information over the Internet. More software developers, companies, and independent contractors are turning to the concept of privately hosting the applications they develop and allowing companies to access them as needed.
This saves companies significant dollars on development investments. When subscribing with a reputable “SaaS Application Provider,” there’s no need to hire your own IT department, programmers, or software developers, invest years in writing new programs, implementing them across the entire company, and then realizing that it’s now outdated. Many companies such as Oracle and Salesforce.com have built a global customer base using this secure professional services venue.
With SaaS (Software as a Service), you can get any application you want or need to help streamline your business operations, communicate more effectively with your customers, and capitalize on the latest technological innovations.
VPN or ‘In the Cloud’
With SBS Consulting’s strong network of certified affiliates (SBS Network Affiliates), you’ll have access to a global network of the best onsite and virtual programming and design expertise. The experts we rely on must pass a rigorous SBS certification process so you’ll know they are the best of the breed.
This allows you access to a wide range of Programmers and Developers who can put together a new application for just about every single need your company may have. And what’s even better is that you can host it on your own VPN (virtual private network) – a private corporate network that your company controls internally- or in the Cloud (Internet Cloud). There are advantages to either solution, but the flexibility of SBS’s development design provides numerous benefits.
Being able to have access to various applications in the Cloud allows companies to streamline their innovations and processes. Use what works, experiment with new developments, or have something completely new and unique designed for your business operations. With SaaS, it’s all possible.
