Implementing a SAAS Solution Benefits of the It Strategy

Question:-

give the two benefits of the IT Strategy to use a SaaS solution to support the hiring process

Answer:-

Software as a Solution is ready system to provide the services to the clients. The distinct from traditional model under Software as a Service (SaaS) is already configured and installed (University of Maryland, University College. 2019). This provides the advantages to the user to provision the server for an instance under the cloud with the couple of hours the application is ready for the use.

Scalability and Integration:

Software as a Service solution is highly scalable and supports the integration with offerings of other SaaS. This can be compared to traditional model; it is limitation with traditional model to buy another server or software application (University of Maryland, University College. 2019). Therefore this features and support of SaaS is a key benefit to the users or clients.

First thing is that the team along with CIO should consider about the SaaS vendor relationships with the clients. This can be analyzed with the historical data from journal, blogs and direct clients opinions and the decision is taken on the basis of long term relationship of vendor with clients (Delsh, K. 2018). This will benefit MTC to establish the long term relation with vendor to its SaaS services. Also, the resiliency with vendor and MTC for the services also increased which further establish the negotiation and rebate for the service.

Second thing which would be considered while selecting the SaaS vendor is Service Level Agreement (SLA) consideration. Some of the SaaS vendor already deployed SLA for clients. Therefore, those vendors of SaaS having deployed SLA must be carefully studied by CIO and team members to get all the terms and conditions which are available with it before agreeing and signing. This SLA may be negotiated for costing and MTC will be benefited by reduced cost for SaaS service. Further, MTC also get the maximum optimization with vendor SaaS service if the SLA is defined on the requirements and proposed conditions given by CIO and team members.

Third thing which would be considered while selecting the SaaS vendor is to consider the availability of the services by the vendor. The SaaS vendor having multiple sites is considered the robust in service availability so that all the vendors must be analyzed with their service availability (Heller, M. 2017). The information for the service availability of SaaS vendors can be gathered from the blogs, magazines, journals, vendor performance information from vendor site, SaaS performance chart on cloud news etc. After analyzing the vendor which has high score of service availability will be selected by CIO and its team members. This will benefit to MTC by availability of SaaS services by vendor 24 x 7 in a day, 7 days in a week and 365 days in a year. Therefore, MTC can perform more processing related to its business domain and get more growth in the competitive world.
