The AAS (as a service) Model

I really like this model. It basically means that a system/product is developed centrally and a user can buy a right to use it rather than having to buy it.

There are some obvious benefits to this.

Cheaper for Users: Since they do not have to buy the product, it proves cheaper.

Easier to Maintain: Since the product is hosted at one place, enhancement and maintenance is easier to do and the cycle times are lower.

Easier Customisation: Most products developed are module wise, which makes it easier for the seller to customize the product for a user based on it’s requirements.

If you look at the overall picture, it makes sense to not waste time and resources in duplication.Creating, hosting and maintaining centrally creates economic value.
