How SaaS Helps You Scale Your Business

Software-as-a-Service tools let growing businesses access powerful technology without big upfront costs. Here's how to use SaaS to scale, and when to build your own.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) means using software over the internet on a subscription instead of buying and installing it. From accounting to CRM to hospital management, SaaS has changed how businesses grow.

Why SaaS helps you scale

• Low upfront cost: pay monthly instead of big licence fees
• Access anywhere: work from office, home or on the move
• Automatic updates: always on the latest, most secure version
• Easy to grow: add users or features as you need them
• Less IT overhead: no servers to maintain

Watch out for

• Subscription costs that add up as you grow
• Tools that don't talk to each other
• Data locked into a vendor's platform

When to build your own SaaS

If your process gives you a competitive edge, or you're paying for five tools to do one job, a custom platform can make sense. You might even turn it into a product you sell to others.
