SaaS is short for Software-As-A-Service. Over the past year there has been an influx of powerful software tools available on the internet which are provided as subscription services. This Software As A Service model is specifically suited to small-to-medium sized businesses since it reduces the need for in house servers and IT staff costs to maintain them.

Joe Cincotta - the founder of SaaS Mentor - has worked with the owners of various sized businesses over the past decade and found that nearly all of them face similar problems; problems around effective collaboration, sales process, customer retention, time keeping and project management.

The key was understanding that whilst the problems looked similar - an effective solution would generally be unique to each business in how they implement common tools to drive the best outcome.

Software delivered as a service means that the things which are normally managed by the business - such as servers and infrastructure are effectively outsourced to someone able to offer huge economies of scale. Because the licensing for the software is delivered in affordable increments, usually per user or relative to how much it is being used, it means that your costs can be aligned to the cash flow of the business. The other important thing to remember is that you don't need to have IT staff handy; these services are all managed by the vendors.

In a word; amazing! The quality and finish of the software we recommend and deploy is world class. The quality of service of the technology is unrivalled by traditional on premise software.

The idea for the SaaS Mentor methodology came about when Joe Cincotta developed a simple and effective consulting strategy targetted at small-to-medium sized business which harnessed this Software As A Service as the underpinning tool to provide unique solutions for these common business problems he had identified.
