SaaS
Cloud-based software model in which several customers share a standardized platform and updates are provided centrally and automatically.
SaaS (Software as a Service) describes a cloud operating model in which software is provided via the internet and users do not have to operate their own infrastructure. In the classic SaaS understanding, many customers work on a shared platform (multi-tenant model), which is centrally managed, updated and further developed by the provider. This model is primarily designed for standardized use cases with little individualization.

Vorteile für B2B-Unternehmen
Classic SaaS enables a quick start, low initial investment and minimal operating costs. This model can make economic sense for simple or less individualized business processes.
Abgrenzung zu klassischen SaaS-Modellen
In contrast to the classic SaaS model, avanta operates dedicated instances with scheduled releases and individual customizability (see avanta SaaS). This makes avanta particularly suitable for complex B2B e-commerce scenarios with ERP-first architecture.
Praxisbeispiel / Branchen
Standard-SaaS-Plattformen werden häufig im B2C-Umfeld oder für einfache B2B-Anwendungen eingesetzt. Bei komplexen Branchen- und Prozessanforderungen stoßen sie jedoch an funktionale und organisatorische Grenzen.
