Why Do Companies Decide On SaaS?
Around us, we see companies that become exclusive vanguard SaaS corporations. With more than 80% of its hosted and managed cloud application in the cloud, companies can confidently say that their operations no longer depend on legacy systems. This makes a lot of sense for all of them, since the benefits of SaaS often come down to significant financial savings. The main beneficiaries, as expected, are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs), which also have the best growth forecasts for 2019.
Because SaaS applications are easy to use, administrators will no longer have to provide expensive training for employees to use. In addition, these applications are easily connected to a number of third-party applications and solutions and, in general, have an open API access that allows you to create personalized connections.

What To Expect From The SaaS Market In The Coming Years?
The market will welcome the appearance of services in the cloud. The distinctive advantage of SaaS technologies compared to office installations is their applicability in mobile devices.
According to Statista, more than 60% of the world’s population in 2016 owned and actively used a smartphone, and researchers are confident that this number will increase by at least 1/3. The logical consequence of a society saturated with mobile devices is that users are becoming significantly intolerant of the bad mobile experience and the lack of native applications, and even 61% of them will leave a site that they do not find receptive enough. For SaaS applications developed primarily with mobile users in mind, this will not be a big problem.
In 2019, more and more organizations will move up into the SaaS environment to get part of the “complete SaaS workspace.” Meanwhile, the growing demand will motivate investors to finance important technological innovations, which means that a SaaS utopia may not be as far as we think.
