Whether you plan on moving your legacy apps to Cloud or think about from scratch cloud-based application development, there are multiple reasons to migrate. Cloud application development has helped enterprises reduce cost and time-to-market, improve performance and enable agility and flexibility.

Cloud computing or simply “the cloud” enables global access to various services such as software development platforms, servers, storage, and virtual desktops on the on-demand pay-for-use basis. Unlike the on-premise concept, where you are supposed to keep required servers, storage units, network infrastructure, and other IT facilities in-house, and continuously invest into their maintenance and modernization, cloud computing keeps the mentioned aspects out of your operations and lets you focus on the core of your business solution.

AlignTogether brings years of experience and expertise in custom web application development to design, develop, deploy, and maintain cloud-based and SaaS applications, letting our clients focus on the core of their businesses.

SaaS application development

Software as a Service means that software is running on servers owned by a SaaS provider and users can access it via the Internet and web browser. That indicates no need for installation of the software on the workstations, which in turn eliminates costs and operational delays on software deployment in a traditional "download and install" concept. It’s a perfect solution for a variety of business needs such as marketing automation, business analytics or customer relationship management (CRM). Being a part of cloud computing nomenclature, SaaS application development is a reliable option for businesses that want to make their services more accessible, scalable, and distributed.

Choose SaaS application development for:

• Utilizing the "pay as you go" model

  Your clients will no longer need to invest in the hardware and subsequently pay for the maintenance and upgrades. The "Pay-as-you-go" model allows businesses to pay only for the actual resources (i.e., support options, number of transactions, computation time, amount of disk space, etc.) they have consumed. You can opt for one of the many subscription options and sufficiently cut costs. This makes using the SaaS a sensible choice for small and medium businesses.

• Time reduction

  SaaS application development can save you not only money but also time. It means that the application is already installed, and all your clients will only need a browser and an Internet connection. This indicates rapid demonstration and prototyping. On top of that, SaaS applications tend to get adopted by the users quicker and easier.

• Scalable end to end solutions

  SaaS development has a room for flexibility, due to the pay as you go model. As the actual software is hosted externally by a vendor, changing usage plan or customizing your app can be done easily.

• Reduced TCO

  As the SaaS model usually has the Cloud Computing in the background, it allows you to lower the total cost of ownership of your software solution by cutting down costs on the ongoing maintenance of in-house software and hardware. You won't need to involve hardware vendors and network integrators to launch your application; all you'll need instead is a subscription to the Cloud Services package of some of the proven providers.

It is for you to consider rebuilding it and transferring it to the cloud. This way you'll be able to continue using your historical data records and enjoy improved flexibility and scalability of the modern cloud SaaS application.
