THINKstrategies, a market analysis and consulting firm focused on the business implications of on-demand services recently announced a new set of packaged services aimed at helping Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Managed Service providers (MSPs) ensure that they have properly designed and can reliably deliver their web-based solutions.
THINKstrategies' new Readiness Assessment Services (RAS) have been developed in response to the rapid rise in demand for SaaS and Managed Service alternatives to traditional, packaged applications and network/system management (NSM) solutions among end-user organizations of all sizes. This demand is attracting a rapidly expanding array of start-ups and established vendors attempting to capitalize on this new market opportunity.
"Many aspiring SaaS and Managed Service providers are unaware of the complexities and challenges associated with these service models," according to Jeffrey Kaplan, Managing Director of
THINKstrategies. "We believe these companies would benefit from an independent assessment of their go-to-market strategies and service delivery capabilities to ensure they are properly positioned
to successfully compete in the SaaS and Managed Services markets."
