The modern world of work is powered by reliable, innovative software that is designed to maximise your effectiveness. Between sector-focused software, vital every-day programmes and innovative solutions for every workplace, your success relies on having the right tools to get the job done. However, many organisations continue to rely on legacy systems that may no longer fully support their evolving needs.
Relying on this legacy software means relying on inefficient and unreliable ways of working. More than that, it means relying on solutions that cost more to get less. Without the cloud, you pay the cost of on-site storage; without a supported version, you pay the cost of support; without a backup, you pay the cost of a critical failure; and without moving with the times, you pay the cost of doing nothing.
The power of the cloud
Cloud-based SaaS solutions come with a range of benefits that just can’t be matched by a legacy, on-premises system. The most obvious is infrastructure. A modern software-as-a-service solution will be hosted remotely, using reliable cloud servers that ensure that there is no interruption to your organisation’s capabilities. It also cuts down the need for on-site storage, bringing to an end the days of paying through the nose for extra office space that gets taken up by servers, as well as the costs of running, maintaining and servicing the system as it becomes more and more outdated.
An on-premises system is not just outdated – its vulnerable. Modern SaaS providers work with high-quality cloud services, like AWS, Azure and GCP. These companies build a reputation on reliability, with layers of disaster recovery capabilities. A server room in the back office is vulnerable to floods, power cuts and even simple human error – in a way that a cloud-hosted SaaS solution just isn’t. And if the worst should happen, it’s vital to have a service provider you can rely on to resolve the problem and provide continuity to the people who rely on you and your organisation.
One price, every version
Legacy systems all reach a final version. When that happens, all you’ve got is all you’ll ever get. Rising costs for maintenance, hosting and day-to-day running, but no new capabilities, no new features, no new updates. Relying on a legacy system leaves you stuck in the past, left behind by a technology-driven world that’s always moving forwards.
With a reliable SaaS solution, you can benefit from ongoing updates, which bring the very latest capabilities to your organisation for one consistent price. You can also make the most of ongoing training and onboarding to help your team to make the most of the software. Your solution will be supported into the future, meaning you can keep working without interruptions through future-proofed service continuity.
Compatibility and integrations
Effective and productive organisations rely on efficient workflows. Fragmented workflows using incompatible programmes waste valuable time, dragging down your team’s productivity. As your solution becomes more outdated, it will become more difficult to build effective integrations.
Modern solutions built with shared capabilities in a unified platform help your team to work efficiently across different tasks and functions. When you work with a modern SaaS provider, you can benefit from a wider range of services and capabilities that complement each other effectively. When configured for your needs and making the most of the latest innovations, a modern system hosted in the cloud can help you to unlock the efficiency and productivity that transforms your team’s capabilities.
