"Software as a service is an emerging trend in the market.
The big value that it delivers if you are a print service provider is the ability to actually put together solutions for customers without having to invest in infrastructure.
That infrastructure takes two primary elements.
The first element is Maintaining the servers, the equiptment, the software. The Software-as-a-Service you partner with provides that infrastructure.
The second element, that I think is absolutly essential, is that it reduce need to invest in staff. Yes you have to have good people that understand technology, but you dont have to have the same level of staffing that's required if you had the investment in the hardware and the architucture inside of your organisation.
The other component that software-as-a-service delivers is Time to market.
Time to market means that you can implement much much more quickly and meet the needs of your clients on a sustained basis more rapidly.
As a print service provider or if I were a print service provider, my strategy will be to implement solutions using that business model."

Technology
SAAS - Software-as-a-Service
A model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet.
Secured Servers
We invest in proper hardware and software to ensure your data is safe. Put all that into a 24Hrs secured data-center and you get a package you can rely on.
Web-To-Print Integration
There are many web-to-print packages available. SimpleFlow uses web-services technology to seamlessly integrate with these packages. A good package we can recommend is PrintShop by B2C-Print.
"The SimpleFlow server is operated and maintained by its own development team: for you, it means a faster support
and nothing to deploy on your PC or Mac workstations. Better, only a simple Internet connection is needed: you will
thus be able to track your printshop production from home or from your mobile phone or Palm, while you are out
of the office."
Vilmos Horvath, Consultant Printing, France
