When Service Providers have previously approached Software as a Services (SaaS) as a revenue stream the implementation has been too difficult resulting in a failure of the business model.
The NEC Software Net SaaS Solution uses an efficient, collaborative, user-centric and context aware service platform to provide a simple and flexible network based application framework that is an essential requirement for Next Generation Service creation and delivery.
Aggregated SaaS Solution-in-a-Box
Globally organisations are shifting to rent applications, instead of outright purchase. A simple integrated model to purchase, manage and maintain SaaS ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) is essential to manage the ever growing SaaS landscape. The NEC Software Net platform uses an efficient, collaborative, user-centric and context aware Service platform to provide a simple and flexible network based application framework to achieve this.
In addition, NEC has licensed leading application solution providers in the on-demand or SaaS space; this means that Software Net end users gain access to multiple best in class software application solutions all through one collaborative portal environment.
