What is SaaS software?

Software as a Service is a way of delivering applications through the internet. This saves a lot of time spent on complex processes like installing and maintaining software. SaaS development services offer you to just access your application anytime from any device through the internet.

History of SaaS

During the early 1960s software development progressed rapidly. But still, the cost of running the mainframe application was immensely high. To rectify this problem software as a service industry developed rapidly. MIT developed the first compatible time-sharing system(CTSS).

Then during the time of the 1980s hardware technology becomes less costly and highly portable. So business shifted towards this. In 1995 some software as a service site appear with the online marketplace Amazon. In 1999 Salesforce launched its Customer relationship management platform which was the first SaaS system built from scratch.

Currently, SaaS development services are one of the most cost-efficient and user-friendly approaches for every organization. SaaS has revolutionized the business to a great extent with 94% (as per the reports by DevSquad) of technical professionals using SaaS solutions.

Types of SaaS Products

There are a lot of SaaS products. Some of the common SaaS software Products include:

Customer Relation Management(CRM) Software
Accounting Software
Project management software
Email software
Enterprise Planning(ERP) Software
Fintech SaaS products

How to develop a SaaS product?

There are a few steps that you need to follow to develop a SaaS product:

Market research

Start with market research to get an idea about the long-term statistics of your venture. Get information about your target customers, competitors, features, and business model.

Defining SaaS requirements

SaaS platforms can consist of a wide variety of features. Some of the essential features of software as a service include automated processes, enhanced security, monitoring user activity, multi-tenancy, and more. Additionally, many SaaS solutions integrate with project management software, allowing for seamless task coordination and workflow efficiency.

Choosing the technical stack

Choose a technical stack as per your business needs. Decide for frontend technology, backend technology, database, and hosting platform as per business requirements. For reliable and scalable options, consider using VPS hosting in India to support your application’s performance and growth.

Creating a team

Now you need to create a team of expert professionals like business analysts, SaaS software developers, testers, designers, and managers. If you find this hiring hassle difficult then you can go for a SaaS development company or a freelancer.

No need for expensive hardware acquisition or data centers.

Automatic updates

SaaS development services providers ensure that their platforms stay updated. This simply means that you don’t have to buy new updated software every year. Further with software as a service, it is really easy to perform updates when a new feature is released or any issue arises.

Time-saving approach
