SaaS is an enabler of the On-Demand Enterprise and a key step in the direction of realizing its' promise. As an organization embraces the concept of near shore development by making a long term partnership with a skilled company, it is critical to take a holistic view of the enterprise to understand where near shore development services fit to prevent short-term technology decisions which will make future implementation more difficult and expensive by creating what we call implementation stovepipes.

SaaS Accelerator's strategic consulting practice focuses on accelerating the adoption of near shore enablers like SaaS and cloud computing to assist our clients as they move toward the On-Demand Enterprise. The promise of the on demand enterprise is to increase the speed of business changes to market dynamics, creating a "sense and respond" organization. The on-demand enterprise can,

• Reduce new product and service time to market and capture revenue through innovation
• Increase the businesses ability to rapidly respond to change
• Improve decision making speed and accuracy
• Provide business flexibility by increased granularity of processes enabled through services
• Ability to quickly create business processes and composite applications to respond to changes in the marketplace
