Software at Your Fingertips
The rapid expansion of the Internet and increase in broadband speed has allowed computing power, database storage and specialised business applications to be hosted by worldwide data centres and offerred to enterprises. Mi-SaaS is MIMOS’ Software as a Service Platform that allows software applications to be delivered over the Internet to end users on a subscription-based system. End users only require the Internet to access software thereby reducing software and hardware installation and maintenance costs. Service providers also benefit by easier servicing and maintenance without having to be on-site and supporting updates via the Internet.

The following are qualities of Mi-SaaS:

• Accelerated Updates – Users of Mi-SaaS applications receive more software updates than traditional software via a centralised, direct access from the provider.
• Competitive Advantage – IT costs can be lowered down by subscribing to applications on Mi-SaaS therefore not requiring installation and maintenance of software and servers.
• Ease of Maintenance – Mi-SaaS has an automatic scaling capability to manage the loading on servers and more database servers can be added as required.

Applications
Software subscription is now possible via Mi-SaaS. Now, service providers can freely offer software over ther Internet to target users worldwide. End users also benefit by not having to purchase dedicated software and hardware and maintain these themselves. The following are applications of this technology:

• Service Providers – To boost loyalty and enhance revenue, users can be given additional options of subscribing to software services via the Internet.
• Large Companies – Enterprises can improve their software flexibility by offering software in standard bundles or web subscriptions.
• Mi-SaaS works well with MIMOS’ Platform as a Service (Mi-PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (Mi-IaaS) for building cloud software solutions.
