tBits On Demand
Quite often the small firms cannot really afford the basic infrastructure reuired for implementation of any new system. Like in case implementation of any application you usually require a server, paying for latest upgrades, security applications etc. So it is quite difficult for smaller firms to invest in such an application. Because the cost implications are quite high. So even if the application is good hey might be reluctant to invest money in such a set up.
A solution to all this could be on demand access. Here the organization has to pay only for its usage. i.e. if it wants to use it for aa month they only pay for the access for that period. Here the advantages are as follows:
- it does not have to invest in its IT infrastructure
- it doesnt have to pay for updrades and security applications
- it can easily access the latest versions
Because all the upgradations, latest versions, security applications can easily be hosted online. However customers might be concerned about its security applications. But it would be worth while knowing that whenever any application is hosted online they have extrmeley stringent security checks. This is beacuse any good web hosting server is primarily known for its robustness and security that it offers. So probably if it is hosted online it would be more secure than hosting it online.
This obviously helps a lot for the small firms. It indeed would be benificial for users who require the application for a limited time frame both in terms of cost as well as infrastrucure!!

Check for spelling mistakes.
On Premise solution can have other cost implications like keeping the server up 24 hours meaning Electricity Expense and Admin Expenses.
If you need to give access to outside people you need to have VPN (Virtual Private Network) which is really a costly affair.

There was a time when because of bandwidth restriction ppl didnt want to have hosted solution.
Now, seeing the success of email systems like gmail, the era has started when people do not really hesitate to put their gmail id on visiting card.
Being on the same lines we too have kept the blog on wordpress rather than having it on our server.
