Every contractor has varying requirements in their business processes that can to be addressed with their construction accounting software solution. Since the construction software technology has improved vastly in the last few years, contractors are now faced with software options that they never have before, including web-based solutions that operate “in the cloud”. These solutions are also known as Software as a Service (Saas) and they're a great way for entry level contractors to manage their operations from the office or on the road! Jonas Premier is one of these SaaS solutions!
The benefit of using web-based software like Jonas Premier is the speed and ease of installation. Since all of the information is stored in the on online servers (also known as 'the cloud'), there's no hardware to purchase or install, eliminating the need for an IT administrator. The savings in hardware costs alone is enough to make a significant difference in your decision, not to mention that most of your training can be done over the phone instead of paying for a trainer to come to your office.
In addition to the long-term financial savings, you can save time and money almost immediately! Since your software provider is no longer building the technology around a specific platform, you can use any device to access your information. Run it on any OS, whether your Company uses Windows or Mac.
The most obvious benefit of using a SaaS is that it is available anytime, anywhere. If you can log in to check your email, you can refrence your construction software reports. This means that each member of your team can always have a finger on the pulse, leading to a more efficient and ever-ready team. If you can use the Internet, you can use a SaaS application.
An added bonus is that any updates made to your new SaaS solution are seamless, so you won't have to keep checking the mail for CDs! All the product changes are applied to the cloud server so you experience the benefits as soon as you log in. What does that mean? It means less money spent on IT infrastructure management and a decreased dependance on upgraded computer hardware. There is no reason to worry about software updates and versions!
