There is a reduction in the need for capital expenditure for state of the art services and equipment, it often reduces the total cost of ownership. This is a must for any business, but particularly for startup businesses that may have limited capital and who are able to customise XaaS to their needs at any given time.

Before XaaS being available, a business had to buy everything they needed for their particular business processes. This could include software, hardware, servers, and more, and then had to link it all together to create a network that suited their needs. Now they just identify their general needs and subscribe to a service that provides them, while being able to add on new components as and when needed.

When it comes to communications, businesses will look for a vendor that offers Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) to provide a fully integrated system. Such integration also delivers key benefits in the area of productivity and cost-saving.

Scalability is perhaps the next most important benefit. Different business models not only have varying initial needs but also needs that change over time.

Anyone who has worked with any software product knows that updates and add-ons can happen frequently and if not added can hinder security.

The XaaS model also offers businesses extreme flexibility. If the market changes or if the needs of business change, then it is easy and very fast to add on new apps or solutions to existing virtual packages.
