SaaS does not block innovation or discriminate against poor people.
The main thing SaaS offers is convenience. I cannot think of a single SaaS service that you cannot do without or replace with an alternative.
In other words, if you are cash poor, but time rich, you can always find or make an alternative.
In fact, I’d say just the opposite. SaaS is great for innovation and poor people. Most SaaS have a free or a low cost tier, or a pay per usage tier. This allows anybody, poor and rich alike, to get started without any of the heavy lifting or a large upfront investment.
I agree with Saassy. SaaS was a blackbox decades ago, but successful blueprints are readily available to get anyone familiar with and to get them started with creating their own Saas bliss.
I`m researching Dynoflowmatic ERP software and with all of the valuable information available, figuring out the "D" in derp was more difficult than finding good Saas literature.
Hmmm. I don`t upvote/downvote comments and haven`t figured out if there`s any value in it or not...
I expect to create a custom module for everything, but having access to all the data, tools and software has made it a very rewarding experience thus far.
As stated in the other comment, being able to touch it makes all the difference while learning.
Measure, flow, automation didn`t have that ring to it, but dynoflowmatic was an easy way to keep me focused on my goals.
