WebEx Australia director Kevin Mackin argues that SaaS offers a way to avoid IT costs blowouts.
Owning and managing software is a financial burden for enterprise CIOs and IT managers who continue to grapple with the ongoing problem of how to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their infrastructure.
Under the traditional model of software purchasing, you are asked to pay an upfront fee for a certain number of licenses. As an IT manager, you must also take into account the TCO, keeping in mind the auxiliary costs related to hardware acquisition and people.
