Google Apps the Benefits for Business

Google are fully behind the cloud computing movement with their Google Apps for business offering. Google apps offer a number of benefits to business; the browser based applications give companies the freedom to innovate by taking advantage of the scalable nature of cloud computing.

Google apps have been designed so upgrades and improvements are pushed out regularly to users. New functionality can be pushed out weekly because the software is designed to do so to ensure all customers have the most up to date software. Don’t forget, none of the software upgrades need to be done in house.

When Google Apps launch a new feature to their web based applications users can get the upgrades just by refreshing their browser. With mobile browser applications, they are kept updated without software updates. With traditional IT, software updates can be a nightmare. They can be time and labour intensive.

Google Apps benefit from anonymous usage statistics from millions of users which help Google to learn which features will benefit business users the most and apply them to Google Apps software very quickly.

Your staff benefit from the continuous updates Google Apps implement and are not subject to learn completely new software applications when a new update comes out, which is often the case when traditional software gets an upgrade.

If you want to take advantage of the benefits of Google Apps contact Catalystic to find out how we can help you use Google Apps in your business.

What is software as a service?

Software as a service (SaaS) has been around for the last 10 years and is a way for a provider to distribute their product to the market. The providers of the software will usually license the product for on-demand usage to the user, the provider hosts the application on their servers.

It is a product that is largely used by businesses, as a way of saving money within the firm. Instead of licensing all the computer devices needed to support every application, they use the on-demand service and save a substantial amount of money.

Benefits of using software as a service

  • Being able to access the broad range of applications that are on the market whenever you need or want.
  • Not having to download upgrades, updates etc as it is all done via the provider.
  • Saving money on license fees and application purchases.
  • Saving space not having to store you own in-house servers.
  • Saving man hours by using ready built software.
  • The latest applications are readily available online for you to use.
  • Having access to the best practices applications.

SaaS is still in its early stages and will continue to grow in the ever-changing world of technology. As the service gets stronger so will the benefits to the customers who use the product. Software as a service is still a relatively new phenomenon and is rapidly gaining popularity across the world. Many firms have cited that it has saved them many man hours simply by being able to use online applications as opposed to building services from scratch.

With the added bonus of not having to pay for the extras it is seen as something that is a great investment for the future of any company. SaaS is likely to be a term that we all become far more familiar with over the next few years.

The Rise of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a relatively new phenomenon which is taking the IT sector by storm. The continued growth of cloud computing is revolutionising the business world.

Cloud computing is the concept of delivering business IT solutions over the internet making them scaleable and more cost effective for businesses. Cloud computing is also known sometimes as software as a service although cloud computing is emerging as the favourite term for business IT solutions provided online.

Cloud computing is an outsourcing model which makes use of the excess server capacity of specialised providers, for example Google provide cloud computing services. Your business IT applications may be split among many machines, sometimes called virtual servers, which also work on the tasks of other companies.

Cloud computing can help small businesses ease capacity issues. You don’t need to invest in your own servers or hire staff to take care of them. Instead, you pay only for the capacity you need to use. And as demand rises, you can increase your capacity in line with your business growth, without interruptions. Traditionally you have the servers set up and occupying space, you are paying a fixed amount whether you use the server or not.

These cost benefits are one of the main reasons behind the rise of cloud computing and the growing industry it has become. If you want to know how you can make use of cloud computing in your business contact Catalystic.
