Aside from the foreign market, in the domestic market alone, there is no one can take a shot of the SaaS company, we are in the growth period, but also has "young Victor's Trouble." While SaaS is an important layer of cloud computing, it is not the SaaS that cloud computing can have. If you must give the SaaS to find a "Dad", the ASP is more suitable, because the concept of SaaS and ASP basic acquaintance, are based on "Asaservice" above, and even the main "traditional software Subversion" concept. But for many people, ASP is already a relatively unfamiliar concept, because this ASP in 2006 when the basic was hanging on the wall, at that time, the cloud has just begun to lakes alone.
The rise of cloud computing for the enterprise software market brings another piece of the brand--saas, but from the current content of SaaS covered, no outside of OA, CRM, ERP, data management, and so on, this is the market is familiar, but also the Giants are the most stable market, It's hard for some entrepreneurs to get a slice of the market, and on the other hand, traditional IT service companies don't really understand SaaS, understand "cloud", take data backup as an example, in the context of cloud computing, traditional data backup hangs on a few cloud storage nodes, and the sign of cloud backup has Erniang. These traditional enterprises actually even the bottle did not change, also changed a label, they only hope that the "cloud" comes more slowly, can be in their own "private plots" more than a few years of cultivation.
The so-called revolution must be a model to replace another model, or a new technology field to replace the old technology field and create new technology category, open up a new market. If SaaS is going to be a revolution in traditional software, then it must refer to the business model that SaaS represents, which is paid on demand!
Under the Internet, SaaS, which is not paid on demand, is bullying. Some traditional software companies will say: SaaS implementation, not to reduce costs as the goal, taking into account the huge benefits of new services, a bit more investment is very worthwhile. This is really a joke, the ultimate mission and goal of ERP and CRM is to improve management efficiency and reduce management cost for enterprises. The 2 B market has been highly competitive, disorderly and low-margin, allowing these companies to quickly put on a new SaaS label to gain greater bargaining power.
Review the development of ASP is not difficult to summarize the reasons for its failure can be divided into: 1, the user trust is not enough (in foreign financial departments can also be outsourced); 2, the long-term development of uncertainty; 3, lack of market traction; These three reasons summarize, can be summed up in one word: too ahead! These three issues are also the most important problem that SaaS faces at the very beginning, fortunately, there is cloud computing, if not the concept of cloud computing support, the SaaS bubble may have already burst. Cloud computing "On demand" core concept and the current network environment, development conditions, the maturity of the use of awareness, give the SaaS infinite imagination space. Similar to the data storage Enterprise seven cattle, Ucloud, data backup company multi-backup and so on is this pay-per-use representative-based on the specific usage of traffic to pay, in addition, such as Microsoft's traditional software overlord in the Nadra, its software business has begun to move to the free value-added model, note that This is not a pure free version. On April 23, Microsoft released its first-quarter financial results, and CEO Nadra said he wanted all of Microsoft's software businesses to turn to annual payments, long-term subscription models, rather than one-off software trading.
Cloud computing and SaaS as a trend, make the enterprise market one-time payment era has become the past. But this does not mean that the free age has come. The pay-as-you-go model for cloud computing will become an important opportunity for the transformation of the enterprise market at this stage, which is a pity if you can't catch it.
What is the difference between SaaS and bullying that are not paid on demand
