SaaS Enablement Solutions

At Scio, our team has been forging the way for "On-Demand" business models, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and Web 2.0 applications since before these terms existed to describe the development services we provide. Creating on-demand applications using Agile Project Management

To assist software companies make a smooth and rapid transition to SaaS, Scio developed three major service components to create a SaaS Acceleration Solutions offering.

The first component is a business consulting assignment, called SaaS Readiness Evaluation, designed to help ISVs to examine the SaaS business model for their own market and products. The engagement covers business planning, market analysis, application evaluation and includes a SaaS business case and a working prototype. The latter can be used to acquire working capital for development phases, or can be presented to potential clients for buy-in and feedback.
 
The second component is a SaaS Technical Assessment, which provides technical recommendations related to the issues that will affect the performance, scalability, manageability and security of the application, such as application architecture, tenancy and provisioning model options, integration requirements, database design, infrastructure architecture, development platform, and usability.
 
The third component is SaaS Application Development services using resources of the Scio Nearshore Delivery Center, leveraging cost-effective software development resources experienced in building SaaS applications. The development team is experienced with Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) rapid development tools as well as custom development of SaaS applications.
 
ISVs can engage Scio either for specific business and technical consulting needs, as a nearshore outsourced product development partner or for nearshore team augmentation. With all of these approaches, ISVs benefit from the SaaS and Agile development experience of the Scio team and from the close geographical and time zone proximity of Mexico.

    The ROI Of Software-as-a-Service
    Firms almost always consider software-as-a-service (SaaS) as a cost-advantage over on premise in the short run due to its quick implementation times and pay-as-you-go pricing. But many firms question the long-term value of SaaS, wondering if the rent-versus-own model necessarily has a cost crossover point and if so, when?... Forrester examined client decisions across a range of SaaS solution areas and found that firms obtain long-term value with SaaS solutions.
