Translate IT Innovations into Bottom-Line Cost Savings – Software as A Service Model (SaaS)

Thomas Silvestri — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 14:18:06 +0000

Translate IT Innovations into Bottom-Line Cost Savings – Software as A Service Model (SaaS)

As globalization builds momentum and takes on a life of its own, enterprises of all kinds are realizing that their traditional software development tools and approaches can no longer deliver an end-to-end solution for application lifecycle management. A combination of disconnected and incompatible groupware tools, expensive and limited home-grown and legacy systems, and isolated software configuration management (SCM), issue tracking and project management applications are leading to wildly diverging development processes and a lack of transparency between teams—even when they’re under the same roof let alone distributed around the world. While improving IT efficiencies and cutting development costs have always been top priorities for CIOs, the rapid and unstoppable shift toward a global business landscape is creating a new set of challenges and a heightened sense of urgency to meet them.

Telecommunications and Mobile Expertise

The globalization of intensified telecommunication and mobile competition, brought on by recent turbulence in the global economy, the convergence of information and telecommunications legislation, and the acceleration of new information technologies is driving telecommunications organizations and governments to look for new business models to meet increased demands for efficiency, competitiveness, short-term agility and long-term growth.

Telecommunications capital has been traditionally one of the most challenging corporate line item expenses and operations to fully manage. As corporations grow globally, their international communications and infrastructure is often procured and ordered at the lower operational level rather than from the strategic corporate level. As a result, this of lack of global strategy has resulted in global ad-hoc disparity in the communications platforms and network comprising of multiple operational support systems and billing systems handled by departments with accounts spread worldwide.
