Software as a service (Saas)

Assalamualaikum & salam sejahtera...

Dah baca tajuk entri kali ni? So, apa perkara pertama yang terlintas di fikiran anda semua?

Apa benda SAAS ni yer? Sejenis game ke? atau sejenis perisian? Adakah anda pernah menggunakannya? Nak tahu lagi?? Jom baca entri ni sampai habis OK?

Dalam bahasa Inggeris, SAAS ni dapat didefinasikan sebagai 'software delivery method that provides access to software and its functions remotely as a Web-based service'. Dalam erti kata lain yang mudah nak difahami, SAAS ni merupakan satu cara untuk menggunakan perisian tanpa perlu di install ke dalam komputer kita. Anda semua faham? Mesti ada yang blur2 lagi kan? Jom tengok video ni.  

Software as a Service overview

  

Contoh yang paling senang nak faham adalah Google Doc. Kita boleh create word document, excel sheets, powerpoint presentation dan banyak lagi. Fungsi sama sahaja dengan Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Power Point dan Microsoft Office Excel. Tapi, apa yang membezakannya? Contoh lain SAAS adalah prezi, padlet, go animate, dropbox dan banyak lagi.

  

First sekali, kita tak perlu install software2 ni ke dalam laptop kita sebaliknya kita hanya menggunakan terus software2 ni dengan syarat WAJIB ada connection INTERNET. Yang paling best sekali, data kita tak mungkin hilang sebab semua data2 kita disimpan dalam cloud. Bak kata pensyarah saya, "Laptop hilang pun tak pe, yang penting data kita selamat"... 

Berikut  saya senaraikan kelebihan menggunakan SAAS :

 

• No additional hardware costs; the processing power required to run the applications is supplied by the cloud provider.
• No initial setup costs; applications are ready to use once the user subscribes.
• Pay for what you use; if a piece of software is only needed for a limited period then it is only paid for over that period and subscriptions can usually be halted at any time.
• Usage is scalable; if a user decides they need more storage or additional services, for example, then they can access these on demand without needing to install new software or hardware.
• Updates are automated; whenever there is an update it is available online to existing customers, often free of charge. No new software will be required as it often is with other types of applications and the updates will usually be deployed automatically by the cloud provider.
• Cross device compatibility; SaaS applications can be accessed via any internet enabled device, which makes it ideal for those who use a number of different devices, such as internet enabled phones and tablets, and those who don’t always use the same computer.
• Accessible from any location; rather than being restricted to installations on individual computers, an application can be accessed from anywhere with an internet enabled device.
• Applications can be customised and whitelabelled; with some software, customisation is available meaning it can be altered to suit the needs and branding of a particular customer.
