Mercer Consulting discusses the Advantages of SaaS

I was thumbing through the latest edition of HR Technology magazine and found a report from the Human Capital Connect consulting team at Mercer Consulting. It is a great article that talks about the delivery platform known as Software as a Service or SaaS.


Many companies are facing their technology decisions with knowingly limited IT resources and at the same time are being forced to maximize the rollout of enterprise software. Herego, the SaaS platform requires serious consideration when both these factors are evident.

First, what is SaaS? Many applications that claim to be a Software as a Service delivery model...when in fact, they are really an on-demand ASP hosted model that still require time and effort to maintain and upgrade. SaaS eliminates that requirements and provides for a high capability to ensure business process improvement.

Why consider SaaS in your HCM evaluation:

-It shifts the IT burden to the vendor
-Data security is indeed robust and secure on a global basis
-No customer is on an older release
-Upgrades are delivered without pain or cost
-Incorporated best practices from the largest customers benefit the smaller
-Business processes will continually improve

An unbelievable benefit - The average SaaS customer will have a system that is 26.5% better in three years but at the same price.
