How about “Software Development as a Service” - “SDaaS”? - a term for software development and licensing model, which can be highly beneficial for your company if you consider streamlining or outsourcing your software development process.
In this article, we will look at both SDaaS and IT Outsourcing and investigate their differences.
1. What is IT Outsourcing?
IT Outsourcing is an agreement in which the principal company outsources their IT and software development projects to outsiders, often agencies or freelancers. IT Outsourcing development company helps organizations to minimize expenses and focus their human resources on their expertise while handing in the IT parts to the seasoned developers. Nevertheless, IT outsourcing exposes enterprises to risks of low-quality software, especially when the agents are only responsible for one-time projects.
2. What is Software Developments as a Service?
SDaaS, on the other hand, is an on-demand and flexible software development service with predictable ongoing costs. SDaaS contract is designed to guarantee consistent maintenance and support to the launched website, just as an in-house development team would carry out the work.
