Software as a Service, Platform as a Service
I just got back from a Salesforce developer event today.
Just wanted to open it up for discussion, how do you think the SaaS model, compounded with the recent developments with Chimes, affect the VMS and staffing industries?
My two cents on this trend, and I hope you will discuss: emerging platforms make it relatively easier to develop and deploy new custom applications. Several things can happen:
1) Staffing firms that didn’t have proprietary end-to-end solution will now have the opportunity to offer it to their clients as development costs dramatically go down.
2) Clients will have a lot more choices than they currently do.
3) End-to-end/VMS solutions will be a standard offering from staffing firms. There will be greater weight placed on staffing than the technology piece.
4) Eventually, clients will take advantage of the PaaS model and require vendors to work with their respective platforms.
5) Which brings us back to square one. Staffing.
Just my two cents.
Any thoughts?
