SMBs Embracing SaaS...Are You?

Posted 01-25-2010 at 11:39 AM by Albert Fong

Industry Week today reported that almost one-third of SMBs plan to implement SaaS-based solutions this year, an increase from 22% in 2009. According to IT research firm CompTIA, this is due in large part to the fact that 42% of SMBs do not have an IT department, making managed services an ideal option. And, SaaS solutions that have a direct impact on the bottom line and improve customer satisfaction have the most likelihood for adoption.

Key Findings
  • 30% of SMBs plan to invest in SaaS solutions in 2010
  • 42% of SMBs do not have an IT department
  • Most wanted SaaS solutions are those that improve revenues and customer experience
  • About 80% of the SMBs consider the usage of ERP, CRM and online e-commerce capabilities as strategic to their business
Regardless of whether or not you're an SMB, it sounds like the maturity of SaaS combined with its cost-reducing benefits is gaining traction. And, it's your decision whether SaaS is right for your organization and whether the competition already has the advantage.
