SaaS

Servoy has built-in tools to help you get your SaaS application up in record time. Besides the navigation, security and monetization/provision frameworks that are available, we ship with a ready-to-go application server, there is no need to worry about clustering, and even the hosting part is covered with standard images in most popular cloud environments. Often we get asked how much time it takes to get a basic SaaS application up and running. That's exactly the reason why we started our SaaS in 200 hours program.

On Premises AND SaaS with a single code base
With Servoy it is easy to build and deliver SaaS enabled applications. All the technical aspects to deliver and develop SaaS applications are already built into the platform. Servoy supports all SaaS models out of the box: Multi-tenant, Multi-database and Multi-instance. Additionally, Servoy allows you to use that same application and install it on-premises with customers and even the capability to switch between the two models. This gives ISV's the ability to seamlessly add a SaaS offering to their current offerings without the need of maintaining two different code bases.

SaaS and Back Again
Most modern SaaS platforms dictate that you use their proprietary platform, their proprietary infrastructure, their proprietary language, and their limited browser-based proprietary development tool. Then, once you've developed and deployed your application, you're at their mercy. If you want to integrate with local hardware, local databases, or other local resources - you need to write even more code. What happens when your customer wants to take that same application and put it behind their own firewall? Well, with most services - you're out of luck. Not with Servoy.

With Servoy, you can take the same code that you are hosting in a SaaS model and deliver it to your customer - along with their data. The customer can then install it in their own environment and be up and running the same day.

Your Choice of Hosting Options
Once you're ready to deploy your SaaS application - you can choose the way you want to host it. You can host it on your own servers, host it "in the cloud" using a service like Amazon EC2 where you pay for only the resources you use; you can host it with a dedicated Servoy hosting provider (on their hardware or yours); and we can even help you get hosted with multi-national hosting providers like OpSource for worldwide reach. The best part is - you're not limited. You can start on your own hardware, and then when things take off - you can easily move to another model of hosting. Again, one code base, on any platform, with any back end database.

Create Your Own Platform
With Servoy, you have the capability to allow others to create modules that integrate with your own solution. These modules can be entirely new sets of functionality, or, depending on how you set up your solution, they can be forms/objects that are created dynamically on-the-fly for each group or even each user.

SaaS in 200 hours
In conjunction with our frameworks and based on high demand, we launched a program to help ISV's build basic SaaS applications in about 200 hours. We will either train your team how to implement the available frameworks and build the screens and reports, or we will simply build it for you.
