SaaS Service rethinking: Getting Data back to users

In the last 2011 years, the enterprise-class cloud computing and mobile interconnection apps industry was fired up in the fire. But at the same time, the concept of the SaaS model, which has been presented for nearly 10 years, has become increasingly irrelevant. The industry's point of view is that SaaS continues to do so, and will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, the "Heroes" of its predecessor, ASP and SOA, and embark on a path of no return to the cemetery. So with cloud computing and mobile apps hot, will SaaS fade out of sight and go down the historical stage? Otherwise, how should this model be transformed? Is it possible to board the 2012 it Hot List again? And his successor cloud mobile end can inherit the "mantle", continue to in the enterprise Informatization play a role?

Is the decline of SaaS a prophecy or a reflection? Where will the industry go?

SaaS Market Sad

For some time after the financial crisis, the SaaS model was one of the most concerned topics for CIOs. In the post-crisis era, can SaaS accelerate the construction of SME informatization in the end? In the long run, the market outlook for SaaS applications is optimistic, but at this stage it is not far away from really good apps, and SaaS will die a little more than alarmist. That's why the vocabulary of SaaS is no longer mentioned in various large it conferences.

Recently, the author in the interview that some enterprises in the use of Salesforce.com Company's SaaS products, often complained about its system dependence and data conversion drawbacks. When customers put all the data online, they become more and more inseparable from it, want to update the data downloaded to the local, carved into a CD Home office use, which is almost as impossible to achieve (its leasing Amazon cloud platform development brought by the short board). There are a number of similar woes: No call center support, no instant messaging IM software (mostly with QQ for embedding), all of which provide a lot of bad experiences for SaaS service models, especially online CRM services.

And look at the online service model of the manufacturers, but also many sad no joy. In early 2011, the media predicted that SaaS would usher in "LSC". Sure enough, venture capitalists are losing confidence in the short-term benefits of SaaS. Wei-ku Network whether it is playing SaaS or PAAs, and finally was Ufida "family" Chang Jie Tong Rob to the limelight, and Kingdee confused patent account eventually to the decline; million households also early concept packaging for mobile OA leader ... The former high air ang, flourishing some of the SaaS manufacturers clouds, today also have to fight for the rice. Perhaps, when Ali platform closed, it is a sign that SaaS is a hot potato can not play, and at that time the phrase "do not believe to win" rhetoric, it seems more like a Zhang farce. The new cloud mobile end app, once again, will bring SaaS to the sad "no" road.

The inflection point development can be ripe

With the rapid development of large data and cloud computing in the 2012, there is a forecast that the enterprise information executives will be more tight purse, it procurement budget will be greatly reduced, the use of information products will be more efficient and convenient, processing capacity higher cost is cheaper. So, like mobile cloud, terminal information applications will go into people's offices and pockets. Where to go to office and processing data, who also focus on the rigid SaaS application products. But in Enterprise informatization, pedagogical, calm thinking, as the first cloud application attempt, the SaaS leasing model has not been completely abandoned, and then the scenery of mobile cloud, no online software applications, the concept will become a foundling. So, to improve the SaaS model, the vast world can still do a great job.

To this, the author proposed that the enterprise information software to the cloud, it is necessary to do some structural changes. For SAP, a highly complex application, it is not a day to implement SaaS on cloud computing. To implement SaaS rationalization, software vendors must modify the software to a considerable degree. There are at least two things to consider:

1, can find suitable for market needs, to improve the mode of service-oriented software applications. For example, after the realization of online CRM, to continuously improve the service details, to bring the visible benefits to the customer, the supplier can quickly realize the return on investment.

2. Some of the new applications in the future can be designed and developed directly with SaaS architecture to promote SaaS development in this way. Even when the user is out of the online software, it is flexible to handle the data whether migrating to the cloud or to the local. In short, to be realistic, looking at SaaS from a user perspective is the basis for the transformation of the SaaS industry, and the rule of avoiding decline.

The

has not yet become popular and has begun to die out, as software Terminator SaaS model, in the "Mobile + cloud" under the shock of the fragmentation. And from the collapse of a large number of SaaS service providers, it makes one wonder: is SaaS just a cloud? The new revolutionaries of the IT industry moved to the brink of revolution yesterday, believing that this is not what most users and industry colleagues expect. SaaS Software Leasing model, for the vast number of small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction of information has a great supporting role. It is not just a cloud-based delivery model, but a service approach that it needs to meet IT service management requirements. Let the data return to the user, adapt to the development of the mobile internet era, after cooling the SaaS service reflection, perhaps together with the cloud computing and Mobile information to help users get through the business chain can only be a way out.
