Software is expensive. There’s the cost of the system itself, and you have to invest in hardware and IT staff to operate it.  

But you can get the same benefit—for a lot less money—from SaaS, or software-as-a-service. Learn how in an Oct. 23 Webinar presented by Multichannel Merchant and sponsored by ProfitCenter Software.

Our speaker, software expert Ernie Schell, will define SaaS, and explore the advantages and distadvantages. He will show you why it makes sense for mid-tier companies, and why Gartner predicts that 90% of all e-commerce sites will rely on at least one SaaS solution by 2013.

You’ll learn how to:

• Assess the cost.
• Integrate hosted software with your inhouse systems—like accounting.
• Choose the right provider, one with the right fail-over procedures.
• Apply hosted software to all of your channels.

There are several other names for SaaS, including hosted solutions and software on demand. But the benefit’s the same no matter what it’s called: You get access to the best systems without investing in infrastructure. And that means savings for you.
