SaaS Strategy Phase II
MARKET CHALLENGES
Lack of providers with application and integration experience
Lack of integrationbetween applications
No certification process
Finding the right SaaS applicationschallenging for customers
Lack of quality distributionchannels for ISVs
Customer Confusion
SaaS: The Opportunity
• 79% of IT managers responding to a recent IDC survey have already purchased or are currently reviewing SaaS offerings.
• Over 50% of ISVs now receiving funding are SaaS based
• SMB, Mid-market, Enterprise• Opening for service providers to partner with ISVs
Challenges in SaaS Hosting
• Traditional processes for development, delivery, and support of applications are not well suited for SaaS
• Application architectures must change to address requirements such as multi-tenancy, security, scalability, and operational supportability
• A complete lack of standards for the deployment of SaaS applications for things such as ordering, provisioning, metering, and billing
• The challenge of the go-to-market approach – to sell direct, or to sell through an indirect channel of resellers, service providers, or outsourcers
