Top Four Reasons to Leverage a SaaS Staffing Software Solution
Today, staffing firms are under intense pressure to do more with less - and to constantly stay connected while on the go.
Coupled with the rapidly changing job market - and rapidly changing technology demands - and staffing firms find themselves in the perfect storm.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) software has emerged as the next-generation technology that will help staffing firms not just meet, but exceed these needs. Leveraging leading-edge Cloud Computing technology, SaaS software enables staffing firms to run their businesses anywhere there's an Internet connection.
Below are the top four reasons every staffing firms should leverage a SaaS staffing software solution:
1. Upgrades to traditional systems eat up budgets. With traditional staffing systems, process changes or deploying new enhancements can be cost-, resource- and time-prohibitive. According to the recent Knowledge Infusion whitepaper, "The Continuous Innovation Advantage of Software-As-A-Service," annual maintenance of traditional software systems can exceed 20% of the original license fee.
But with SaaS staffing software solutions, upgrades can be performed automatically since there is no software to install on an internal server, saving both time and money.
2. Traditional system upgrades aren't frequent. Many staffing system vendors go as much as three years without any significant product releases or enhancements, the Knowledge Infusion whitepaper found. In today's competitive staffing environment, that's not enough to meet demand.
SaaS software vendors, on the other hand, release three to four new enhancements every year on average, according to the whitepaper. Imagine seamless, automatic upgrades to your staffing automation solution - such as enhancements to your payroll or general ledger application - even before you realize the need for the upgrade. This gives staffing firms the ability to rapidly and inexpensively expand their business.
3. Traditional systems can be limiting. With traditional systems housed on internal servers, staffing firms are limited to where they can access information. Plus, by housing systems on internal servers, organizations run the risk of servers going down at critical moments.
With SaaS software solutions, staffing firms eliminate the need to house software on internal servers - and hence the risk of servers going down. eEmpACT On Demand staffing software is housed in a state-of-the-art facility with dual-power generators, multiple Internet feeds, redundant cooling and high security.
Plus, with 100% web-based solutions, data and systems can be accessed anywhere, anytime. This allows sales reps and recruiters to be better organized, more productive, and more responsive to clients and candidates.
4. Big upgrades can require reimplementation. The Knowledge Infusion whitepaper found many users of traditional staffing systems opt to re-implement the next product release rather than update their existing solution. The complexity of upgrading, testing and validating prevents many companies from updates.
SaaS solutions eliminate all of those complexities. With SaaS staffing software there is no hardware to buy, no internal servers to maintain, no IT staff to pay and no backups to worry about.
