Common Mistakes by SaaS Companies

Perception On Solution
Assume you are planning to start your own passenger airlines, which one would you pick? Well, isn’t it obvious that A380 is much more scalable, secure, robust and excellent in performance. While both can fly,
• The smaller plane cannot scale to take up more passengers
• A380 is loaded with 4 engines, which is much more secure and reliable
than a single engine aircraft
• Smaller plane cannot withstand heavy winds or thunderstorms
• A380 can travel at 5X speed and can cover a long distance

Underestimating SaaS Complexity
If you are asked to build a SaaS product, will you not apply the same parameters – scalable, secure, robust and performance; to decide how your SaaS product should be?
SaaS business model requires several technical and SaaS operational building blocks to meet the day to day needs of both your customers as well as support team.
More importantly, there are 9 non-functional requirements that are must for any SaaS product.
Given the time and resource constraints ISVs tend to pay less attention to these building blocks and Non Functional Requirements, and they end up building something petite just like the small aircraft.

Single Tenant Model – Double Edged Sword
Alternatively, some customers tend to make the common SaaS mistake of taking the hosted model route to save cost. But actually they are going to spend more.
In a hosted model you are going to have multiple instances of your product, just like multiple small planes. Imagine starting your own passenger airlines where you allocate one small plane for each passenger.
Just think of the amount of effort and cost involved in maintaining these numerous small planes???

Focus Areas
So, what would you do if you want to start your own passenger airlines?You don’t want, You would want,• To sit and develop the engines• To design the dashboards and controls• To fix the chairs• To develop your inflight
entertainment system• To address security and compliance in
every piece of construction.
• To work on the interiors and look & feel of your flight
• To make it easier for people to reach you out and book tickets
• To train your crew to effectively use the equipment’s available
• Pick the right choices of food menu• To provide a dazzling customer
experience by providing them best of the service
Because every single aspect requires a niche expertise and hence, doing it yourself will take quite a lot of time and can also be a great risk for your business.
