Each year the number of convenient and practical implementations of demanded IT solutions is increasing and one of them is SaaS – “Software As A Service”, or software rental, based on data center infrastructure. The Baltic largest data center operator, IT company DEAC deploys SaaS solutions for the small and medium business segments of Europe. “A few years ago, software rental using the data center infrastructure in Europe and Russia was seen as something exotic, because of the small number of actually working IT solutions and poor IT infrastructure. Today, it is one of the most effective ways in the world to optimize IT infrastructure both in terms of security and reliability, as well as financially,” notes DEAC CEO Andris Gailitis.
Global experience shows, that the typical SaaS-based IT solutions customer is a company with less than a 100 employees, which aims to optimize the organization of joint work in the company (content, communications and collaboration, CCC) and customer relationship management (CRM). Given model of software and data center infrastructure operation allows each employee of the company from any internet-connected computer, with a high degree of security to work remotely from anywhere in the world in an integrated system with all necessary information. “The perspective for SaaS is very promising. The rate of Saas-based IT solutions development will increase each year, taking into consideration the needs of customers in qualitative and cost-effective solutions, as well as burgeoning European IT infrastructure in general,” adds A. Gailitis.
It is important to understand, that old-way working, operating with data on server located in the office, has several important limitations comparing with the SaaS model. Firstly, colocating your data in DEAC data centers, the level of security is much higher, due to more modern and more powerful data center infrastructure, than an ordinary company can afford. Secondly, there is no need to invest in the purchase of servers and licenses, thus providing uniform costs. And finally, 24×7 multilingual technical support and certified IT specialists, capable of solving the problem quicker and more efficiently than company’s own IT department, will assure the company in coping with its main tasks.
“In recent years, a global tendency to delegate IT challenges to IT professionals is clearly traced. Experience has shown that responsibility for the leak of information from the service provider is rigidly stipulated in the relevant treaties, a possibility of such leak is much lower in the company, due to service provider developed security procedures system,” underlines A. Gailitis.
Currently IT company DEAC has a wide range of SaaS solutions based on such Microsoft software, as Exchange, Share Point, Office, Server, SQL and others. “For example, the cost of corporate e-mail Exchange user with a wide range of functions and integrated security solutions is about 6 EUR”, says A. Gailitis. Further collaboration development with largest IT companies from Europe and Russia already in next month’s will enrich the range of DEAC SaaS-based model solutions.
