`On-Demand Services` on the up for Organisations in 2009

The growth of SaaS (Software as a Service) and Managed Services is being driven by the economy as organizations of all sizes and across every industry seek more cost-effective alternatives to traditional, on-premise software.

Today, many organisations want to develop and deploy their business applications in more timely and efficient manner. They are also keen to outsource various IT/application management responsibilities to external services providers who can perform these functions more effectively and permit organisations to redirect their limited inhouse staff toward more important corporate initiatives.

SaaS & managed services enable IT operations to better support the needs of their business users. In addition, SaaS & managed services are being used to better support a mobile workforce. Today’s On-demand Services are better architected to respond to provide the anytime/anywhere access to business applications and corporate data workers need than traditional, centralized software and security architectures.
