Which is the Better Option: SaaS or In-house Application Development?


IT division has become a vital part for most of the companies since the 90s. With the increase in IT operations, companies required efficient IT management services as well. After many developments in the IT management field, companies are now left with a plethora of options to choose from. Out of all the existing IT services, SaaS (Software-as-a-service) has turned out to be the most reliable one.

SaaS is a software delivery and licensing model. In this model, users are allowed to access the software on a subscription basis. The companies get a cost advantage as they don't have to spend on human labor and infrastructure maintenance. When compared to the conventional software, SaaS applications can be updated easily. Still, some companies believe in maintaining a large IT workforce for a more focused internal development. They hire in-house application developers.
 
In-house application development vs SaaS
SaaS model offers a cost advantage when compared to the in-house application development. For in-house application development, the cost of maintaining a large IT workforce is very high. It becomes important for a company to maintain a proper infrastructure as well. A company opting for in-house application development does not get a third person perspective over a certain issue.

SaaS is the most preferred software delivery model that is on its way of becoming a standard delivery model for business applications. Implementing SaaS is much easier as it requires a computer system with a web browser and an internet connection. In-house application development is mostly opted by large enterprises as they have to meet government regulations.
