‘Cloud’ is just not the fluffy white thing above us. ‘Cloud Computing Platforms’ allow enterprises to comply with flexibility and manage risk and add SaaS to their portfolios of IT Services!

Creating and Managing cloud revolves around how you want your application to be, how will you manage it yourself, and how much help you need to get it through. With a spotlight on SaaS, here’s how the infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) compare in terms of how it plays how in development.

[Please Note: We’ve emphasized ‘Cloud Computing Platforms/Environments’ as ‘Cloud’]

What is SaaS Application?

SaaS works through the cloud delivery model. It is a subset of cloud computing. But all SaaS models are not built on the cloud. A software provider hosts the application on his own servers, using the database, networking and computing resources or on the provider’s data center.
SaaS applications can be created on local servers and then deployed on cloud-based servers. Such SaaS applications are then accessed via web browsers.

What is SaaS Multi-Tenant Architecture?

SaaS applications can be built using single-tenant as well as multi-tenant architecture. It is a business structure in which many organizations share the same software to store data. In a multitenant architecture, a single instance of the software can be used by multiple customers. Each customer shares the same database and application. Multitenant architecture in cloud computing allows users to share computing resources in a public or private cloud. Simultaneously, every client is isolated from each other and remains invisible to other tenants. Offerings of one tenant are unknown to other tenants.

Where are SaaS applications hosted?

The application layer enables hosting for tenants (clients) and is primarily delivered for software as a service application (SaaS Apps).

Top Frameworks for SaaS Development in 2023

Stretching a traditional application to the cloud takes time, effort, money. Choosing a framework to develop an application on web and mobile platforms becomes the first step in such cases. SaaS business frameworks are flexible, scalable, transparent, and easily integrable with third-party applications. Symfony, Docker, ReactJS, Angular, Laravel, Vue.js, jQuery, Express.js, and Django are the best SaaS frameworks in 2023.

What benefits do SaaS apps offer?

Top SaaS companies chose this model due to following benefits:

  • SaaS apps do not require any installation or setup.
  • These can be scaled on-demand.
  • They follow a flexible payment model.
  • These can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
  • Continuous development and improvement offer instant insights to customers about the most recent updates.
  • Test the SaaS app before buying the subscription. SaaS apps enable a 3D view of all the functions and features before asking the users to commit.
  • User data protection is a priority with SaaS app development.
  • These are accessible to enterprise software.
  • These can be accessible to any kind of user or business.
  • SaaS software gives relevant insights into performance and workflows.
  • App data is available globally without the need to stay connected to a specific workstation.
  • It removes the need to deal with technical issues of physical computers.
  • SaaS apps are hosted on the remote servers by third-party providers.
  • SaaS apps are easy to customize, update, and monitor.
  • It is based on single/multitenant architecture.
  • There are no performance and maintenance problems.
  • Customers need to subscribe (pay a certain fee) for the usage period only.

How does a SaaS Model work?

SaaS applications are sometimes called hosted software. Cloud computing transmits an application to multiple customers, irrespective of the location. It is based on a web-based delivery model, which does not require downloading/installing an app on each computer. In this case, vendors will require managing technical issues related to storage, servers, middleware, and data. It results in streamlined support and maintenance for the concerned organization. The most common examples of SaaS apps are (1) Email collaboration, (2) Calendaring, (3) Customer relationship management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Document Management. Companies can choose to subscribe according to their level of usage.

How to go about SaaS App Development?

  • Conduct market analysis, which involves checking on competitors and potential clients.
  • Select an app monetization model
  • Plan for security and reliability in advance
  • Plan for 3rd-party integration
  • Select an impressive technology stack
  • Build a minimum viable product (MVP)
  • Start the development

How do SaaS vs IaaS vs PaaS differ?

Application or infrastructure deployment can essentially be processed through

(1) Software as a Service (SaaS) – Software that is available through third parties over the internet
(2) Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Includes hardware and software tools available over the internet.
(3) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Includes storage, virtualization, and networking.

All these three cloud computing models differ in concept, variances, and benefits. Every cloud models have its specific features and function accordingly. Irrespective of the cloud-based software for storage, a smooth platform allows for creating customized applications or imparting complete control over the entire infrastructure without having to maintain the hardware individually. But Regardless of which option you choose, cloud infrastructure is the future of business and technology. Popular examples of industries that are directly benefitting from rapid-scale cloud computing solutions: Real estate, Production, Hospitality, Insurance, Healthcare, Financial, Education, Automotive.

Points of Difference Software as a Service (SaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
What is it? Software as a service is also known as cloud application service. It is the most common cloud computing model adopted by businesses. SaaS applications directly run through a web browser and do not require downloads and install on the client side. A Platform as a service is also called a cloud platform service and it offers a framework to build custom applications. It calls enterprises and third-party providers to manage all servers, networking, and storage. Infrastructure as a service also known as cloud infrastructure helps monitor computers, networks, and storage, and allows businesses to purchase resources on demand and as needed instead of having to buy hardware.
What is the advantage? SaaS applications reduce the time and money spent on tedious tasks like installing, managing and upgrading software; and allow developers to focus on more important matters. PaaS applications can be developed at less cost and can be deployed fast. These are scalable, highly available, customizable, reduce coding effort, automate business policies, and can be easily migrated to the hybrid model. This is the most flexible cloud computing model. It is easy to automate, easy to network, easy to deploy and has enormous processing power. It might require you to buy hardware based on your needs, to scale the business.
What are the main features? SaaS apps can be managed from one central location.

These are accessible over the internet and hosted on a remote server.

All the updating is done on the server and remote clients are not responsible.

PaaS applications are built on virtualization technology so that the resources can easily be scaled up or down when required. It provides numerous services to assist with the development, testing, and deployment of apps. It seamlessly integrates with web services and databases. IaaS is the most flexible cloud computing model. It makes it easy to automate the deployment of storage, networking, and processing power, and servers. It enables buying hardware resources on-demand to scale the business.
When to use? It can be implemented by startups; for short-term projects, when saving costs is the priority, for the apps that are not often required like taxation software. It is suitable for apps that need both mobile and web access. PaaS streamlines workflows, speeds up development, and imparts flexibility to the entire project. It reduces costs and simplifies any development challenges. Use IaaS within your business model when you are unsure how your app will play out. The cost factor is indecisive. Also when you feel like scaling your services with the competition. When you know that multiple users will be using a single piece of software. When your requirements are dynamic and you plan to change accordingly.

This discussion stands true for single tenant and multi-tenant in Azure, AWS, SAP Hana, Servicenow, SAP, Oracle Database, and Salesforce!

Multitenancy in the cloud means using shared services and resources for multiple clients. These resources can include computing, networking, and storage. Each tenant’s data is isolated and is invisible to other tenants. Consider an apartment building as an example. Each tenant has its own key. Each tenant can come and go into their apartment as they please, and they can add and remove items to their apartment, as long as they are following the building guidelines and regulations. So, all the tenants of the building can access the building, but they can only access their own apartments.

Therefore, all the other apartments are secure because you can only access your own. A tenant can invite somebody to their apartment as an authorized person, but by default, each apartment is secured and locked down. So the building is providing us with shared resources. These shared resources can include water, electricity, a sports room, a central hall, a swimming pool, and a terrace. These shared resources are available to the whole building, and as a tenant of this building, you can choose how much, or how little, of these shared resources we wish to use.

The apartment building will meter your usage of these resources, and there we have a multi-tenancy using our shared resources. This is a good example and relationship to what we have over here in the cloud environment. Each tenant can have as small or as big, computing, network, and storage allocations. It is really up to the end-user how big or small they want their environment to be.

What is SaaS?

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a cloud distribution model that offers applications on demand over the internet via the web browser. No installation or infrastructure is required to host applications. SaaS applications are applications hosted in the cloud, instead of physically installed on the computer. It gets automatically updated, has better security, and costs less.

What is Multi-tenancy?

In the same way, multi-tenant architecture offers a single environment that serves a scalable and resilient architecture to serve multiple clients (tenants or users). All users share the same database, application information, and database in a multi-tenant architecture. Here a single software instance (logically separate) can be used by different user groups. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is an example of Multi-Tenant Architecture.

What is multi-tenant architecture in Azure?

Multitenant architecture has multiple tenants sharing the same physical instances of the app like virtual machines, storage, etc. Still, each tenant gets their own logical instance of the app.
Two major types of multi-tenant architecture are application layer multi-tenancy and the database layer multi-tenancy.

Single-Tenant Architecture vs. Multi-Tenant Architecture

In a single tenant architecture, a single software instance serves a single customer. They have their own database or application. But in a multitenant architecture, a single environment serves multiple tenants. All the users have a shared database, application, and resources. A Single Tenant Architecture is basically used in private cloud environments. Examples: Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Oracle Cloud provide a dedicated infrastructure for SaaS apps.

A single tenant SaaS application looks secure and is quick to maintain, but it costs very high. If one device accesses one server (vice-versa) it offers control, security, and reliability, as the data is not accessible by any other application. That server can remotely backup client data and restores it in case of any power loss. Clients have to manually maintain and upgrade their server instances.

Most subscription-based services are based on multi-tenant architecture. Also, corporate and single-user email apps like Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, and Thunderbird fall within this category. Cloud storage services like Google Drive, DropBox, and OneDrive; website platforms like Shopify and Wix; and communication apps like Skype, Slack, and Trello are counted in this category.

Single Tenant Architecture

Single Tenant Architecture – Separate application and separate database

Multi-Tenant Architecture

Multi-Tenant Architecture – One shared application and one shared database

How do you create a multi-tenant SaaS?

If these reasons that we have listed here do not seem enticing, you’ll still find the presence of multi-tenant cloud app architecture backed by Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud-based applications like Dropbox, Slack, Salesforce, and Google, leading the market. top cloud computing companies and cloud computing consultancies like Acropolium are inclined to strengthen the process.

  1. Plan the SaaS Infrastructure : Create an infrastructure based on the estimated workload, security, isolation, available resources, and customers’ needs.
    • Number of tenants and tenant groups that your application supports
    • The workload that every tenant will need
    • Will premium clients require a separate database?
    • Advanced data backup and restoration solutions
    • Performance and business metrics
    • Optimization and customizability to different tenant categories
    • Data privacy and compliance regulations
  2. Develop tenant management policies : Smaller clients can opt for multitenant shared databases with fewer resources, while others can opt for single-tenant mode with extra computing power.
  3. Choose a cloud computing platform : For the infrastructure and toolsets to create a multi-tenant architecture-based application – Microservices (Amazon ECS), Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS), and Amazon Serverless Computing.
  4. Implement authorization mechanisms : To implement verification of credentials, checking affiliation, domain rules, and rights – the architecture can either deny access or issue an access token to the backend app to enter the database.
  5. Set up domain routing : Set up a login URL for the SaaS application based on security requirements. These can be logic URLs, Cryptic URLs, and In-App Redirects.

What is the best advice to go with?

To summarize, adopting a Multi-tenant architecture approach will bring extensive valuable benefits to your SaaS application. Just some of the benefits of multitenancy include: scalability, lower entry costs, and cloud maintain these shared resources. Top cloud computing companies can cluster their requirements and develop personas accordingly. Also, it is advisable to make use of a centralized tenant policy management model. This approach helps in optimizing performance, adding new features, and escalating software updates to various user groups. Moreover, you will need to check your database and organize your customers inside your SaaS. Cloud computing solutions can come in handy with flexible and easy-to-use options for multi-tenant applications on AWS.

Major insurance companies propel their imminent capabilities to the cloud. Let’s see how both meet halfway and get together to scale the available infrastructure!

Cloud computing enables insurers to reuse IT resources more efficiently, on rent or on-demand. It reduces long-term infrastructure costs. Its scope often extends upwards and outwards to cloud-based platforms, applications and business processes, which opens new opportunities for insurers. They interact with customers, collaborates with partners, manage their value chains, assess and manage risks and generate revenues.

How cloud computing helps insurers?

Cloud offers opportunities for insurers to build more flexible, a customer-centric model that drives profitability and performance:

  • It enables insurance companies to access IT-based services, infrastructures, applications, business processes, and platforms.
  • It preps IT to better respond to the changing business requirements, create new services, and open new markets to achieve high performance.
  • Cloud computing does not require any capital investment to enable usage.
  • The initial price varies based on “pay-per-use” or “buyer consumption”;
  • It cost less than IT-owned and managed in-house services.
  • It is programmable and adaptable in use.
  • It is easy to acquire and deploy.
  • It reduces the costs of IT ownership and operation.
  • Cloud computing unifies customer data and is customer-centric.
  • It handles peaking demand at a low cost.
  • It drives new business opportunities, drives innovation, propagates a service-oriented model, engages customers, better manages intermediary relationships, maximizes renewals by customers, and supports the integration of third-party systems and agency management systems.

What do insurance companies need to consider during cloud integration?

Insurance companies require considering every implication and business potential of the cloud for their business. Insurers align their IT with their specific strategic challenges and aim to target benefits like lower TCO, financial flexibility, need-based utilization, speed-to-market, and availability of information anywhere and anytime.

Cloud Computing in the Insurance Industry

A continuum of four cloud computing opportunities for insurers

There used to be only a few vendors who considered vertical industry-focused cloud computing services personalized to the needs earlier. However, the industry is soon underlining the potential of the cloud. Salesforce.com scales to horizontal SaaS solutions of cloud, and Microsoft has implemented Sharepoint Online as a global carrier.

Challenges to the Adoption of Cloud Computing in the Insurance Industry.

Insurers require achieving profitability by investing less time, resources and premiums, investment income and reducing the time to market to overcome piling competitors. To resolve – you need an infrastructure cloud solution that boosts financial flexibility, reduces costs of IT ownership and cuts operating costs by ensuring timely payment of services.

Every successive layer of the cloud solutions furthers the increasing flexibility and standardization. It facilitates easy and quick integration of new operations, acquisitions and collaborative partnerships. It also brings you a step closer towards product markets at reduced capital requirements, lower risk and speed.

The adaptability of cloud computing companies helps insurers reshape their traditional operating models and address emerging opportunities and challenges. It reduces the time and cost required to pilot new projects.

Conclusive: Scrutinizing the Impact of Cloud Computing in Insurance

Cloud computing brings the required competitive advantage and forward-thinking uses into the insurance sector. Customers expect quick responses from cloud computing service providers. But if you want a response from someone you are targeting for a sale or an investment, it pays off to do 5-minutes of legwork. As customers look for coherent interactions across every channel they choose to use, the benefit of cloud computation in terms of (1) Cost-effectiveness, (2) Flexibility, (3)Pervasive availability and (4)Agility of unified customer information helps insurers in meeting these demands.

Get a line on Cloud Computing In E-Commerce – how these intertwine, the purpose it solves and why organizations have a reason to adopt it!

How often do we feel the urge to window shop and buy the same item online for the lure to get that additional discount and save a bit on the maximum retail price (MRP)? And when was the last time that you picked something from the store shelf but kept it back, making a mental note to buy it online later? Did you recently switch your shopping pattern to satiate the craving for convenience – cost-saving – flexible timezones?

We often perceive online shopping as a rewarding pursuit as it is eclipsing the retail stores for multiple reasons. It creates a massive opportunity for the retailers to mark their online presence and drive sales and growth.

How These Intertwine: As E-Commerce Trespasses In Cloud Computing

This intrusion of e-commerce cloud services leads to a total win-win for both the beneficiaries. A business that aims to grow and scale seeks modern computing technologies which save time, resources and cost. Let’s understand it in detail.

Cloud computing affects e-learning, healthcare, e-commerce and many such industries. Cloud computing connects systems in private and public networks to provide dynamically scalable applications, file storage infrastructure and data.

Cloud Computing: Cloud Business Process Services (BPaaS), Cloud application infrastructure services (PaaS), Cloud application services (SaaS), cloud management and security services, Cloud system infrastructure services.

Businesses forego the need to have a dedicated IT infrastructure to conduct their business. They get the desired flexibility to sell products online without having to rent out an office space explicitly.

The Purpose It Resolves: What drives an organization’s investment in cloud computing?

Cloud computing reduces the cost of processing, hosting software, storing information and distribution. We deliver services over the internet with cloud computing. E-commerce or internet trade is the purchase and sale of goods or services on the internet plus the transfer of money and data to execute such transactions. Some drivers to an organization’s growth:

  • Global: Cloud computing allows clients to use computational resources, services and storage transparently. E-commerce enables consumers to buy services or products about anywhere.
  • Cost-Effective: Cloud computing for e-commerce helps businesses reduce the costs of hardware procurement, security, privacy, energy and maintenance.
  • Best Security Practices: By adhering to security standards and best practices, businesses resort to storing data in the cloud for e-commerce applications.
  • Scalability: Scaling the application scope based on client demand like increasing the computation power, activating the server, reallocating the loads due to demand evolution on the cloud.
  • Accessibility: Cloud e-commerce infrastructure enables customers to access products and services on the move 24*7.
  • Expansion: Cloud computing allows e-commerce to expand globally (including operations specific to countries)

Cloud e-commerce applications offer high efficiency, low-cost online services resulting in a high economic value. It satisfies customers and makes businesses gain a competitive advantage. It drives efficiency, saves cost through improved inventory planning and assortment via big data analytics, data backups, email storage, development of web applications, virtual desktops, disaster recovery and software development and testing.

In The Closing: Why organizations have a reason to adopt it?

Businesses do have a chance to reduce their upfront expenses by placing a part or whole data into the cloud. But they need to check slow page loading during high demand. They can reinvest their savings to provide added value services to their clients. Highly reliable networks and the internet have an impact on the team’s productivity. And as cloud services are available 24*7, cloud computing companies get enormous flexibility to conduct their work.
