SaaS ExpertiseTechnical Layers of SaaS Applications

At Scio, we made a conscious decision to define our field. We specialize in the development of applications that support Web-based and Software as a Service (SaaS) businesses. We have taken the time to understand online applications as products and the product lifecycle that an on-demand market dictates. The decision has lead us to consider the aspects of business strategies that lead to a strong product launch, the kind of user experience that is natural and assures user “stickiness,” the feature-led release approach that constantly delights customers, and the platforms that will continue to evolve profitably and reliably over time. Understanding these things greatly enhances our ability to assure our customers will be successful. 

SaaS Smart

The Scio team has been forging the way for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Web 2.0 applications since before these terms existed to label our client work.  Creating applications in an online environment is what we do, and we make it our business to know the related ins and outs, pros and the pitfalls.  Unlike other Web development providers, our services are designed around the core technical issues of SaaS and Web 2.0 applications, and our customers benefit from the extensive research and testing we perform on related tools, platforms and components.

SaaS Architecture

Multi-tenant deployment is affected by complex considerations such as the design of the application’s architecture, database schema, network connectivity, available bandwidth, and back office services (such as email, proxy, security).  Fault tolerance and very high performance accompany multi-tenancy as critical for SaaS applications.

Top SaaS Considerations

Work Smart

Because of our specialized, up-to-date expertise in SaaS and Web 2.0 applications, we are able to work faster, more cost-efficiently and with less risk than other Web development providers.  Specifically, through our specialized technical services we help our customers to:
  •    Avoid costly design mistakes
