ScottDatabases.com offers both traditional software development and modern “Software as a Service” (SaaS) solutions. The key difference is that SaaS applications are hosted on our secure web servers — allowing your team and customers to access them anytime, anywhere through a standard web browser.

Instead of buying software outright, SaaS typically works on a low monthly subscription model. Whether SaaS or traditional software is the better choice depends on your company’s specific needs. We’ll help you understand both options so you can make an informed decision.

Since the 1980s, most business software has been installed locally — on individual computers or servers. Back then, maintenance was simple. But as systems have grown more complex and security challenges have increased, maintaining on-premise software has become costly and time-consuming.

SaaS helps eliminate these headaches. By hosting your application on a managed web server (such as GoDaddy or Azure), your business benefits from automatic maintenance, 24/7 uptime, and universal accessibility from any device with a browser. The web server doesn’t depend on your users’ hardware or operating system, making support simpler and more consistent.

All ScottDatabases.com applications are hosted on dedicated Microsoft servers, providing exceptional uptime (99%+) and high security standards. With SaaS, you’ll spend less time on tech support — and more time focusing on what matters: growing your business.

Absolutely. ScottDatabases.com specializes in creating custom SaaS applications that align perfectly with your goals. We can tailor the interface, functionality, and features to match your exact business requirements — so your solution feels like it was built just for you.

Managing enterprise-level data involves more than just the software itself — it requires hardware, databases, infrastructure, and skilled technical staff. For smaller companies, these costs can be prohibitive. The SaaS model solves this by providing access to powerful software without the expense of maintaining servers or hiring IT staff.

Like a utility service, SaaS operates on a pay-for-what-you-use model. Whether you have 10 employees or 10,000, your team gets access to the same high-quality platform, with costs that scale based on usage. This makes enterprise-grade technology accessible to small businesses — and more efficient for large organizations.

Many major software providers, including Intuit, Yahoo, and Microsoft, have already embraced the SaaS model because it’s more cost-effective to maintain one cloud-based system than thousands of individual installations — savings that are passed directly to you.
