Client Engagement Model

The decision on the engagement model will depend on the client system environment, business processes and workflows involved.

Model 1- Remote Access to Software on Premises Model

Model 2 - Software as a Service Model

While Model 1 was the traditional and more frequently used model, there is no denying that Software as a Service (SaaS) is the emerging trend. Software as a Service has significant advantages over Software on Premises. The chief of these are:

• Total Cost of Ownership is lower in Software as a Service and according to a McKinsey study, it is 30% lower compared to software on premises.
• Software as a Service or Online Service better supports workflow efficiencies for engagement models that touch multiple geographies as it is a web based model.

IDC predicts that the enterprise software market is slowly shifting towards Software as a Service and by 2009, 10% of this market would have already shifted.
