The SaaS model holds great promise for independent software vendors, technology providers and consumers alike.

“Software as a service” (SaaS) is the method by which Genkiosk is delivered. It is a fundamental shift away from the traditional licensed software model and could provide your enterprise with a powerful competitive advantage.

The benefits of SaaS include:

• Fewer resource requirements to implement and support your software.
• Genkiosk resides in one location and can be accessed by multiple clients; each operator requires only a web browser and an Internet connection.
• User acceptance is increased – no complex training required.
• Total cost of ownership is reduced.
• No large upfront costs.
• Flexible and scalable – Genkiosk grows with your business.
  
  

This shift to “on-demand” software has been fueled by a combination of increased competition, the cost of maintaining software, and the need for ever increasing numbers of technical personnel and skills.

React to changing conditions

The ability to react to market changes, and take advantage of new opportunities outside core markets, is another reason why many forward-thinking enterprises are adopting Software as a Service. Genkiosk can evolve, adapt and grow as you require by adding or removing any of the vast range of network services. It is the flexibility of this “on demand” software model that makes it so powerful in the ever-evolving market of online device management.

Centralised software
The actual Genkiosk software and server resides offsite in one centralised, secure location. We maintains the data, servers and related hardware for you as part of the cost of Genkiosk. Operators access the Genkiosk services via an Internet Browser such as Internet Explorer. Essentially, the objective of this delivery method is to avoid major implementation and integration costs. Genkiosk removes many of the variables associated with hardware and software support.

The key benefit of this model is that you no longer need to invest in the technology, hardware and support for your software. We take care of all that, freeing you to focus on your core business activities.
All of these benefits combine to generate a real world business advantage to you. Total cost of software ownership can be dramatically reduced.

Seamless updates and improvements
Another major benefit of the Software as a Service model is that the research, development and support of the software is done for you, and much more frequently than with traditional software. Where once your software was updated every two or three years, usually at significant cost, Genkiosk is improved and updated every single week. These improvements are available to you as they are completed and are seamlessly integrated.

Limited disruption to your business
Installing new systems can a disruptive process. Hosted solutions are simpler because there is no need to install software applications or set up any servers. Users simply need access to an Internet browser.
