Speed up your move to SaaS:

It’s pretty clear that today the enterprise application software arena is all about CRM, MDM and collaboration. And when you look at the overall growth, we can clearly see the momentum is shifting towards the Software-as-a-Service model.

"The time-to-market with SaaS is very helpful," says Shazia Mian, director of applications systems at Heidrick & Struggles, a Chicago executive recruiting firm that recently deployed popular SaaS offering Salesforce.com and its collaboration tool, Chatter. "There is truly much to be offered out of the box. These applications are pre-built and ready to go, and they meet our business needs. It's much better than starting from scratch and building it out.”

Off lately, the move to the SaaS model platform is being trending so fast because organizations have started to see the return that this platform offers if appropriate investments are done.
