Why On-Demand?
On-Demand is the future of IT Management
The on-demand delivery model (also known as Software As a Service, or SaaS) is rapidly changing the landscape of enterprise software and provides significant benefits to businesses. On-demand means software that is made available to the user via the internet, where the service provider (or hosting company) is responsible for managing the software and its availability.
Here are some of the advantages of the on-demand software delivery model, comparing to the traditional on-premise model.
Faster deployments
With no up front capital investments and a 30-days unlimited trial period, customers can instantly gain business value and enjoy the benefits of the on-demand software. The implementation of an on-demand solution is notably shorter then implementing an on-premise solution.
Financial simplicity
- No up front capital investments to purchase software licenses
- No annual maintenance contracts with no escape clauses
- No expensive servers to purchase and maintain
- No software to install, manage, patch or upgrade
- No consultants and integrators to tie it all together

No servers or software to maintain
With the on-demand service model, you no longer need to maintain hardware and software – that means more resources are available for activities that contribute to your company’s bottom line. IT organizations that have not yet implemented SaaS solutions are spending a great amount of time managing expensive servers and software, dealing with staging environments and software upgrades, constantly patching software and servers to apply security patches and software fixes. Such efforts amount to costly overhead. On demand, web based IT Asset Management makes perfect business sense!
Vendor accountability
The traditional software delivery model benefits the software vendors. Once the perpetual software license contract is signed and they are paid in advance, they no longer need to go the extra mile to satisfy you. In the On-Demand world, we have to provide value and earn your business every hour, day and month. This is a great advantage to you as a customer. SaaS vendors are more oriented towards providing the best service for your needs. At SAManage, we are constantly improving our service to provide you with the best possible IT asset tracking, hardware auditing and computer inventory and management tools.
High reliability & security
On-Demand is completely reliable and highly secure. How is that so? It’s simple economies of scale. While you are focused on your business, our focus is on service delivery, so we can provide a higher service level than you can achieve internally. It’s a core part of our business and we are constantly investing in making it better. We are using the best technologies in the market coupled with the best data centers and hosting services out there to ensure that your data is secure and our service is available.
New functionality without software upgrades
One of the biggest benefits of the On Demand model is that you receive new software functionality easily. There is no need to run tests on your own infrastructure, and no tedious upgrades processes. As new versions of our services become available on-demand, you get immediate value from the new software functionality seamlessly and painlessly.
Always using the latest software release
One of the biggest challenges of traditional software vendors is supporting multiple versions of their own products. Customers who don’t upgrade still need to be supported, new releases have to be tested on different infrastructure scenarios, etc. With the on-demand model, we support a single version of the product (the latest release) and you are always using the latest release. This simplifies the process of introducing new product capabilities, and allows us to dedicate more time to building new features that bring more value to your business.
