SaaS is turning computing into a utility like the electric grid did for industry.

SaaS is a significant growth driver but fuzzy informations spread over the web make it difficult to understand and differenciate from software hosting environments.

This blog focuses on key success factors driving the development of a successful Business-As-A-Service solution.

ISVs need to host their applications on a SaaS dedicated hosting platform



ISVs want to receive assistance in hosting their application without making significant changes and investment.


The SaaS Hoster provides infrastructure & personnel resources with a highly variable cost structure – you are only paying for what you need / use.

This cost structure provides a best-of-breed solution at a predictable, competitive price.

If the SaaS Hoster uses a fully virtualized platform he provides a power on-demand ressource to the ISV who then pays a fee proportional to the size of the customers he currently serves.

ISVs also want to grab the opportunities offered by a SaaS integration with other ISV's applications:
  • Integrate their application with others to increase the customer's perceived value;
  • Cross-sale part of their application with other ISVs as a SaaS royalty business model;
  • Allow resellers to create bundles of already integrated and working sets of applications.
