Contract Development and SaaS (Software as a Service)
When you do a SaaS (Software as a Service) business, which is sold through distributors, software development is no longer a "contract development" (Work for Hire). Understanding this difference may change the way you think about and how you develop your business with PSPINC.
For example, we are currently developing a SaaS-based online reservation system. However, since we are providing the system as SaaS, we would like to minimize the burden on our clients by only charging money for set-up and monthly usage fee.
In the case of a contract development, software is an intellectual property of the client, but in the case of SaaS, it is the intellectual property of PSPINC. On the other hand, PSPINC is responsible for updating the security of SaaS products, but if it is a contracted development, the customer is responsible for their security updates.
The difference between contracted development and SaaS is similar to the difference between buying a car or renting a car. You need to consider who owns the car, who is going to be responsible for keeping up with the maintenance, and which type is more suitable for you. We have been developing SaaS-based systems because we rarely do contract developments. If there is a system that you need, we would like to develop it as SaaS and offer it to you in the future.
What kind of system would you like to use if it was available?
