VAR & Sales Channel Communications Software (Jack J. Boyd)
Mar 9, 2010
What's the difference between Sales Channel Communications delivered via the web (SaaS) and traditional installed Sales Channel Communications software?
Old school Sales Channel Analytics software has been overtaken in recent years by "software as a service" (Saas) models, also known as "online Sales Channel Analytics", "hosted Sales Channel Analytics, and "on-demand Sales Channel Analytics." In today's marketplace with sales acceleration a top priority, more companies are turning to the Web for business applications and SaaS solutions like Sales Channel Analytics.
Why are companies looking for new solutions? Because to accelerate sales through these trying times, it's more important than ever to be on top of every prospect, every opportunity, and every customer interaction, without a large capital investment that's risky. With Software as a Service's (SaaS) pay-as-you-go model, the price of your new accelerated sales is dramatically lower.
Web based Sales Channel Communications gives you Rapid Time to Value. Eliminating the need for a big up-front capital investment offers an immediate shortcut to Sales Channel Communications success-and money in your pocket in the form of much quicker ROI than most Sales Channel Communications software.
Web-Based Sales Channel Analytics Delivers Rapid, Same-Day Deployments.
Hosted SaaS implementations usually happen in a matter of days or weeks-compared to 12 months or longer with traditional client-server software.
Hosted Sales Channel Management Makes Customization Easy.
With online Sales Channel Analytics, customizations are easy, so even non-techie users can make changes in minutes via a user-friendly interface.
On-Demand CRM Provides Ultimate Scalability.
Sales Channel Analytics as SaaS uses a multi-tenant approach, so there's no single 'instance' of the software, there are many, and you can scale your implementation instantly-without incurring high costs or waiting for months.
Web Sales Channel Management Offers Painless & Easy Upgrades.
Because deployments of new Sales Channel Management features are almost instant, you're always using the latest version with web-based Sales Channel Management systems-so upgrades are easy and painless. Going through an upgrade of a Sales Channel Management product is just like when your favorite consumer facing sites, like Web-based email, upgrade all of your "stuff" is there and working right away. You'll never even notice the change.
