| Whilst the economy is heading for a recession, Adam Smith Chief Executive of SaaS provider, ProjectProgress, is predicting that the slow-down will be the start of widespread take-up of ‘cloud computing’ technology. |

SaaS offers a number of benefits over ‘On-Premises software’ including flexibility for remote working and substantial cost savings. It has been a hot topic for some years amongst technology professionals, but it has not been taken up in the mainstream. Adam Smith predicts that this is all about to change. He says,
“In recent years organizations have had concerns about security issues. Now, people are comfortable with the concept and are looking to enjoy the considerable cost savings that they could make. At a time when many traditional software vendors are looking to increase maintenance charges, the markets are looking to SaaS as a leading-edge alternative. There seems to be a ground swell of opinion now that the economic situation is the catalyst that SaaS needed to move it into the mainstream.”
The ProjectProgress suite of systems gives project teams the ability to deliver projects within the estimated cost and deadline. It enables oversight of corporate programmes and delivers instant snapshots of key projects allowing instant drill-down to major project issues and risks eliminating costly project bottlenecks. As a result, accurate forecasts can be generated with effective collaboration. ProjectProgress is a hosted service so there is no hardware or software installation required.
ProjectProgress was founded in 2004 by former Citex Executive Adam Smith, who pioneered the concept of delivering project management applications via the web. ProjectProgress is the UK leader in on-demand PRINCE2™ Software and delivers a completely integrated and customizable solution for companies of all sizes. ProjectProgress is designed to be easy to learn and use, and can be up and running in hours — not the months or years required by traditional client-server software.
