In 2011, Marc Andreessen was quoted as saying 'software is eating the world'. Now, software as a service is eating software and we're here to make sure our clients are well positioned to reap the rewards of this transition. We've been designing and developing software solutions for over 20 years, providing specialist skills across a range of industries and technologies. In recent years we've sharpened our focus and now work exclusively with software development organisations, either stand-alone or part of a larger businesses, that are tasked with delivering software as a service.
We specialise in designing and developing software as a service solutions. These range from line of business applications, running on Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365 to innovative business to business services that are delivered globally via Azure or Amazon Web Services.
If you're selling into the big boys chances are you're targeting Azure - the defacto choice for enterprise.
Office 365 is the standard operating platform for many businesses. Target those business by leveraging the capabilities of this platform
It's one thing to build a SaaS platform to support a few thousand customers but things get more complex once you get into the millions.
Still the largest plublic cloud provider by far, AWS is the destination of choice for many SaaS products
Visual Studio Team Services is a cloud-based service for collaborating on code development. DevOps is an essential part of SaaS development.
Microservices are the core of any self respecting SaaS platform. Just ask Netflix. Service Fabric is the platform that runs Azure.
For DevOps to work infrastructure is code. Everything must be scripted in order to be repeatable, managable and testable.
Migrating your on-premise applications to the cloud is sometimes as simple as spinning up a virtual machine. Not always though.
On-demand is a fundamental aspect of human nature. Our innate drive to do more with less means that we must eliminate waste and reduce risk. The old world of software delivery will soon become as antiquated as the notion of drawing water from a well. Sure there are obstacles. There are uncertainties and there are technical challenges. But in time, as with all human innovations, the drive to do more with less will prevail. It's who we are.
At HollandTech our goal is to help our clients lead the way in this brave new world. On the surface, building software that's delivered as a service seems no different from building any other type of software. But it is, as those who've embarked on the journey can attest. Delivering software as a service means a transfer of risk. It means delivering on a service level agreement. It means customers are no longer locked in by the weight of their upfront licensing purchases. In a global marketplace, niche products become viable and traditional generalised products must up their game to avoid death by a thousand cuts. Notice has been served to products that are hard to configure, hard to use or hard to maintain.
Let's be honest, the stakes are high if you want to stay in the game. Doing nothing is not an option.
This isn't our first rodeo. We do this stuff all day, every day, and we do it because we add value by helping our clients get there faster. Contact us for a free consultation to find out how we can help with your project
