On Demand = NO FUSS

Last week at Unified, I was asked what all the fuss was about with “on-demand” software. Between the hubbub in the convention center (and some great wine the night before), I was able to blurt out a thoughtful and thorough response: “NO FUSS!”

Let me explain: The concept of “renting software over the web” relieves companies of a lot of problems associated with traditional software implementations.

How? Well, you can get started easily; you don’t need internal staff to maintain the software; and you benefit from enhancements as soon as they are available (instead of having to pay for an upgrade).

And the fees are less painful too! You only pay a monthly subscription, and avoid having to pay a lot of dough before you use it (license fee, consulting fees, hardware upgrades, etc). Also, if you don’t like it, you simply stop paying.

So you ask me what all the fuss is about. It’s just that. There is none.
