The core idea of Ascertain ACTS SAAS would be providing enterprise level software functionalities any sector of the business, Manufacturing, SMEs, Web conferencing, Education, Agriculture, Shipping and etc .Ascertain Software as a service (ACT SAAS) applications are typically rented on a per-user-per-month basis.

There are no up-front licensing costs, and no need for up-front equipment and development resources. The subscription fee covers software maintenance and operational costs as well as any upgrades. ACT SAAS has a distinct meaning that’s essential to understanding its role in your application portfolio. With ACT SAAS, there’s just one code base for the software, used by all customers, in what’s called a multitenant architecture. While the software might be configurable by users to their individual needs, the code itself is the same for all and is not customizable for any individual customer. Any enhancements made based on one customer’s requests immediately become available to all customers. So forget competitive advantage or differentiation based on the software itself.

Advantages

Faster implementation (because there’s no on-premise deployment), easier access to current technology (because changes are made just to the one code base) and fewer bugs (because having one code base reduces the complexity that can lead to errors),

It can also translate to lower costs for the enterprise if the SaaS vendor passes on the savings. SaaS is thus a new wrinkle in long-available, on-demand, outsourced IT models, such as the application service provider (ASP), business process outsourcer (BPO) and managed service provider (MSP). The prime reasons for a company to consider SaaS are its faster deployment times, its lack of up-front license and infrastructure costs, and its ability to address vanilla business processes so you can focus your resources on custom processes that make a real difference.

The underlying data model and system architecture of ACT SAAS is also not customizable. The advantage in this for the vendor is that it spends less time managing compatibility and upgrades across several versions of the software. It also spends less to support customers, as they all use the same version and they don’t run it on their own equipment. That’s one reason that venture capitalists have glommed on to ACT SAAS. The VCs also like the fact that ACT SAAS can reduce startup costs, promising faster time to market.

Web conferencing and surveying work well with a SaaS approach because they let IT offer users functionality without having to invest in expertise and operations.
