What is a SaaS Intranet? 

The trend of companies moving to use software as a service instead of on-premises is becoming increasingly apparent. This is no different for intranets. So what is the idea of the SaaS Intranet and why should you consider this choice?

What is Software as a Service? 

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a model of delivering and licensing software using cloud solutions. The applications are maintained, serviced on the supplier’s infrastructure, and shared with subscribed customers online. The software is paid for on a subscription basis – “pay as you go”. This method of delivery significantly relieves the burden on the buyer. This is because the buyer doesn’t need to have its own infrastructure, and any servicing, updating, or development of the applications is done on the supplier’s side and automatically delivered to the subscriber. The SaaS market is currently experiencing a tremendous growth. According to statistics, by 2023, it will be worth as much as $623 billion with a compound annual growth rate of 18%. 

SaaS Intranet – how does it work? 

Among the software available as SaaS are also intranets! This is an alternative to on-premises or internally built intranets, allowing organizations to quickly access a really flexible solution. An intranet as a service is off-the-shelf software, often referred to as an out-of-the-box solution which means that you can use and benefit from it as soon as it is implemented. The process of implementation doesn’t require much time and a large technological commitment on the part of the customer. You simply subscribe online to the ready-made intranet, and the provider’s side is left with the tasks of infrastructure customization, development, updating, and maintenance. 

How to use a cloud-based Intranet? 

You simply log in via the internet to access your applications. The fact that your SaaS Intranet tools are available via the internet means that you can log on to them from any device connected to the Internet from anywhere in the world. 

What do you need to implement SaaS Intranet? 

The implementation of the SaaS Intranet is extremely easy. What you need is only a good internet connection and efficient tools – computers, smartphones, laptops depending on the needs of the employees.
