Aprigo NINJA is a SaaS data management suite. The benefits of SaaS over on-premise solutions are:

Lower Cost

Most SaaS solutions are offered at a lower subscription cost (Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly) with no up-front fees, compared to on-premise solutions. Much of the savings are realized because of the SaaS vendor’s lower cost of sales and a lower cost of deployment. The subscription model means that funds are coming out of the operating expense budget and not from the capital expense one.

Simpler Solution

The less software and hardware components installed on-premise, the simpler & faster the solution deployment becomes. The time to value is much faster compared to on-premise solutions – usually measured in minutes.

Lower Risk

No shelfware! In a SaaS model the customer can unsubscribe or cancel the subscription, and with no databases and application servers to install, this means lower overall risk to IT and the business.

Faster Innovation

User community innovation is what drives most SaaS companies roadmaps .Unlike on-premise solutions,where new functionality is generally introduced twice a year, a SaaS company, using an Agile development methodology can introduce new functionality every 6-8 weeks. Moreover, due to the complexity associated with upgrading on-premise solutions, most customers go through the upgrade only during scheduled maintenance windows. This means at any given time, the customer is anywhere from 9-12 months behind the latest and greatest functionality available.
