Talk Internet

Reselling SaaS

In the current economic climate your customers will be looking to do more with their IT resources whilst spending less. This may lead to them to not replace ageing software applications in an attempt to reduce costs. This is a false economy as although it may provide short term savings, in the long term they will suffer due to reduced efficiency and increased maintenance costs.

Some organisations may look at leasing their software as a way to help cash flow, but even this method does not protect them from falling asset value. When you think about it there is no value in them actually owning their software. It does not appreciate in value and advances are regularly making it obsolete.

The good news is that there is now a better way for your customers to obtain the critical software their business needs to survive and you can continue to sell them ongoing support.

What is SaaS?
Software as a Service (SaaS) has been around as a concept for a number of years, but it is only recently that the full benefits of it have been realised.
SaaS is where a third party provides a licence for customers to access a software application and the customer pays only a small monthly or annual fee based on usage and the number of licences required.

The Talk Internet SaaS solution
Talk Internet can provide the software for your customers via our Microsoft Service Provider Licence Agreement (SPLA). This covers everything from server and desktop operating systems, through Web site and database solutions and even office productivity tools like Microsoft Office.

We provide the software and the necessary hardware to host it at one of our data centres. You continue to manage the solution for your customer, as you would if it was a server at their location.
