SaaS.com's Small Business Edition (SBE) Proves to be a Perfect Fit for Growing SMBs

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. - November 15, 2007 -WebApps, Inc. a.k.a. SaaS.com, a leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) with a major push in Time & Labor Management, announced its Small Business Edition (SBE) for small to midsize businesses, the topic of importance in a recent article written for ConnectIT, titled "Positive Business Outlook to Boost Tech Investment."

The article focuses on, "an optimistic business outlook behind some of the technology purchasing decisions small and medium businesses (SMBs) plan to make in the next year, according to recent research commissioned by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA)." It goes on to explain that the results of a survey conducted by IT research firm AMI Partners Inc. on behalf of CompTIA, revealed that, "45 percent of respondents expect their businesses to grow by more than 10 percent over the next year, while 21 percent look forward to better than 20 percent growth during that time."

With this in mind, SaaS.com created the SBE, a scaled back version of the software for organizations with less complex Time & Labor Management needs. "We realized we needed to do more in the SMB space to make it simpler for SMBs to work with SaaS.com," explained Bill Loss, CEO of SaaS.com. "Over time, we considered feedback from partners, which allowed us to create the right solution and technology to enable our partners' businesses to grow."

The article also states that one of the top technology challenges includes integration of existing products with emerging technologies. Since technology will be a key element in allowing businesses to expand, the SBE's flexible architecture allows for easy movement between this version and the full Enterprise Edition, without fear of losing information. Features are simply enabled and disabled to reach the full potential of the system.

As SMBs are looking for vendors that fully understand industry needs enough to provide a tailored solution, SaaS.com keeps flexibility key in all of its software offerings. Under this model, software features can be tailored by customer or user based on a specific industry, work environment, or other criteria. With a wide range of features created with SMBs in mind, the SBE is simple to set up, easy-to-use, and highly affordable. Organizations will be able to simplify tracking time & attendance and enhance user experience with unique features.

"SaaS.com offers features that alleviate most of the work-related pressures an SMB might face on a day-to-day basis," said SaaS.com Product Manager Rudy Roca. "With technology being one of the most important factors in SMBs success, combining flexibility, different levels of functionality, and ease of use is essential in ensuring solutions are, in fact, beneficial."
