SAN DIEGO--To help nonprofits in their quest to raise more money, reach more people and run more efficiently, Kintera® Inc. (NASDAQ: KNTA) today offered the sector seven tips for why nonprofit organizations need software as a service (SaaS).
Part of a new white paper titled “Rent or Buy: Why Nonprofits Need Software as a Service” available for download at www.kintera.com/whitepaper, the tips were designed to help nonprofits understand the differences between SaaS and traditional on-premise technology – and the benefits organizations can reap by taking advantage of the “pay as you go” SaaS model, which frees more time and resources for a nonprofit’s mission.
Kintera provided the following top seven benefits that nonprofits can realize by adopting software as a service within their organizations:
- Little upfront investment
- Reliable cost forecasting
- No extra hardware or software needed
- Up-to-date technology
- Security and reliability
- Remote access
- Scalability
Nonprofits interested in understanding more about these benefits and why they are unique to the software as a service model can download the white paper at www.kintera.com/whitepaper.
“Software as a service is a great equalizer, offering nonprofits of all sizes best of breed applications,” said Harry E. Gruber, M.D., Kintera CEO. “People in need of banking, electricity or cable aren’t responsible for the entire infrastructure needed to deliver those services – they just order monthly service and pay for what they use. Similarly, SaaS puts comprehensive functionality within the reach of any nonprofit, freeing them to focus on their core mission and related donor development and fundraising activities.”
