Service as a Service – the new “SAAS”

This is going to be a typical word for the future (irrespective of the industry/ medium in which it operates). Yes, am sure of this technology because after understanding the 50 business models that can be operated in “Fermium” environment, this is also possible.

We define SAAS as a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and made available to customers over a network, typically the Internet. In a similar fashion you think of software to be replaced by service, and it is Service as a Service. I am not a management thinker to predict something would turn-up in near future so that the entire world can spin around it. If someone can think of providing platform as a service, software as a service and Infrastructure as a service, then this is also possible “service as a service”. Yes, as the big giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google and for that instance any company that works on cloud computing is extending the ideologies of providing service as a service.

And as we say, it depends on the eye of the beholder to recognize it as a service or a product.

From Want to Need...next is what? - implications in “i” environment

PS: Don’t come to a conclusion that the author is a maverick in management concepts. He is just a mediocre student. Hey, it’s again a long break – yet I managed to write something, am sure this is thought provoking concept for those who wish to raise the bars. Yes, it is not only a thought provoking but also a better way to position our-self in this “Free” environment. Before going much detail in to the concept of marketing, let’s remember the basic ground where we stand that need and want are the basic verbs that lies in the root of any management. There is a huge difference between wanting what you want and needing what you want, and both are just emotional states that you need to be aware of. If you are on the path toward attracting what you want, you must be careful not to allow yourself to slip into the negative emotional state of neediness. There is a horrible and vicious mindset among humans that many of the things we have we need when in reality, there is only a few things we a...

Cognizanze feels immense pleasure to write the first hand review for CK’s (CavinKare) new line of business, restaurant. And I am feeling lucky for one more reason that, all the options that I was thinking early came well. I had an interview with restaurant Managing Partner, Mr. Vishwanathan (proud to introduce my B-school Alumni). Before going to the interview we had, I wish the readers should know about CK’s Business. The Company that began its journey as Chik India Ltd was renamed as CavinKare Pvt. Ltd (CKPL) in 1998. With innovative Entrepreneur C.K. Ranganathan at the helm,CavinKare emerged into a successful business enterprise especially in Personal care. Innovation doesn’t need any big investment. And here is the example. CavinKare is the example for this. They are first in Asia to introduce shampoos sachets.
