Why Small and Medium Businesses Love SaaS for CMS

1. Dynamic
SaaS allows for features to be added on your need basis. It offers a quick path to sharing and organizing documents. Importantly, it is geared towards non-technical staff.

2. Predicted expenses
Most SaaS price structure are based on 2 or three axis and offer simple pricing and options for small businesses. Some CMS providers allow you to pay and add individual features to an already purchased package. Again for SMBs, it keeps CMS simple and less intimidating for non-technical personnel in your businesses. The monthly rate gives you a fixed expense every month and provides for better financial model and projections

3. Stay small and lean but punch over your weight
With SaaS implemented, there is no need for your business to keep permanent IT staff. This allows you focus your limited resources on hiring most effective people for your organization and ensures your core message is going out.

4. Focus on your core business
With SaaS, the SMBs avoid hassles of web hosting, patches, fixes, software updates, and numerous other software and hosting problems. It is worth to emphasize, however, that SMBs should do their research to select those CMS providers that are actually continually updating and refining their software versus those who claim to do so.

5. Scalability
This is probably one of the key features for SaaS – your expenditure and technical needs will grow as your business grow and a SaaS model allows SMBs linearly scale their software expenditure with their revenue growth.

6. Access and Security
This is probably one of most contested points and often is viewed as an obstacle for SaaS adoption. However, the ease of access and stringent security offered by most CMS provider would probably exceed those measures employed by SMBs. Still, SMBs should perform proper due diligence to ensures that a particular CMS provider satisfies their security requirements.
