White Paper:
SaaS vs. Software Applications

The annual cost to own and manage traditionally delivered software applications can be up to four
times the cost of the initial purchase. So, IT departments have to spend 75% of their total budget maintaining existing software and hardware. This cost-of-business limits the ability of many organizations to introduce new applications to take advantage of innovation and support growth needs.

Outsourcing to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider is often more cost effective from a total cost of ownership (TCO) perspective, and frees organizations to innovate faster. However, because there is a difference in pricing models, the subscription cost of a SaaS application can seem to be more expensive over a multi-year period. But when the cost of hardware, seat licenses, upgrades and especially all the professional services requirements are included, frequently the SaaS alternative has
a lower total cost.
