This document discusses the benefits of software as a service (SaaS) business intelligence (BI) over traditional on-premise BI solutions. SaaS BI offers lower costs, faster deployment times, automatic updates, scalability, ease of use, and mobile access. It explains that SaaS BI solutions have a multitenant architecture and allow for easy customization without affecting the common infrastructure. Traditional on-premise BI implementations can take over 17 months on average and have a low success rate, while SaaS BI typically deploys within days.

- 4. Sometimes called on-demand or Web-based software.How do you know if it’s really SaaS?A lot of companies claim that they have a SaaS solution. How do you know if they really do or not?Multitenant ArchitectureAll users and solutions share a single, common infrastructure that is centrally maintained. Because of this, vendors can both innovate more quickly and lower the overall cost of your solution – a savings that is passed on to you.Easy CustomizationUsers can easily customize solutions to fit their business needs without affecting the common infrastructure. Customizations are unique to each company or user and are preserved with each upgrade. This means that upgrades can occur more often, with less risk and lower adoption cost.Better Access – from anywhere with an internet connectionAccess to data from any networked device. It’s also easy to manage privileges, monitor data use, and ensure that everyone can have access to the most updated information.31/13/2011Confidential

Editor's Notes
- #14: Setting up traditional BI solutions involves buying and integrating multiple products from multiple vendors – and even the offerings from individual vendors often are made up of several disparate products that were brought in through acquisitions and not built to work together. All these products must be integrated together in a seamless and precise way for the end users to see the results they expect – one mistake somewhere in the chain and the end user will see incorrect results. The level of coordination and precision required for BI is high – so getting these tools to work perfectly together is very time consuming and resource-intensive and that same pain is experienced for every change made to the system as the business’ needs evolve over time.
- #17: In Aberdeen AUG 2010 Report “Fast, Affordable, Agile – The Case for SaaS BI”, Aberdeen found that SaaS BI adoption doubled from 2008 to 2009 going from 7% in 2008 to 15% in 2009. Shown here are some of the primary drivers for the growing adoption of SaaS BI.
