Flexibilidad y capacidad de customización

No se preocupe por la infraestructura de data center

2. Don’t worry about data center infrastructure

All management responsibility is agreed in a contract with the supplier, leaving the merchant free to work exclusively on his online store. As the provider provides the same service for several stores, an increase in scale and quality is to be expected.

Daily software updates with no development, installation or merge costs. This is a direct cost benefit, since all updates are made available free of charge, with no need to pay for development, new installation or version migration.

3. Omnichannel

Software as a service platforms, because of their greater capacity for evolution in the medium and long term, have already adapted to integrate online and offline channels. Many tools already enable the native implementation of these strategies.

4. Security in payment methods

One of the crucial points is security. In this model, platforms invest heavily not only in global certifications like PCI Compliance, but also frequently adopt the best market practices, developing new tools to ensure security at the time of payment.

5. Cost and agility

The software as a service platform has a low cost compared to the On-Premises model where there is a need for technical expertise and the hiring of outsourced companies to act in the development and maintenance. The time-to-market is also an advantage: projects are delivered between 60 and 120 days while in other models, the time to launch can exceed 180 days.

6. 100% focus on the business

The suppliers are the ones who should focus on the technology, so leave that issue with them. One of the main differentials of the Software as a Service model is to keep the merchant focused on business and sales.
