SaaS: Best in Class Companies Choose On-Demand

By Dick Weisinger

Best-in-class companies like Citibank and AIG have proved that best decisions aren’t always made by best-in-class companies.  Nonetheless, to become best-in-class, companies do need to make good decisions and get it right a lot of the time.  That’s the premise behind a report on SaaS by the Aberdeen group.  The report identifies best-in-class companies and then researched those companys’ strategies around SaaS.

The report found that 75% of those best-in-class companies were using SaaS or planned to migrate to it as a long-term solution.  Some key indicators about the attitudes of those companies toward SaaS include these findings:

– 1.4 times more likely to have a CFO who supports SaaS
– 1.8 times more likely to have an IT group with support for SaaS
– 2 times more likely to have a clear definition and understanding of SaaS and on-premise solutions
– 3 times more likely to select vendors with SaaS options and toolkits
