The possibilities with WordPress are endless and don’t have to be limited to the uses that have been used in the past. With new times come new ideas and these can be translated to the web, in unexpected ways and solutions.

Being able to send money easily by phone number is not an idea that has always existed, or that has always been feasible. But in the meeting of an innovative idea and expertise, the Swish service was born and is taken for granted today.

What is SaaS?

SaaS, which stands for Software as a Service, is a service that allows customers to access software over the internet, often in a web browser. Examples of SaaS services are Google Drive, Facebook and Twitter. These services can be accessed from different networks by private individuals, but there are also SaaS services for companies and organizations. Examples of this are accounting programs, invoicing programs, sales support or marketing planning.

The special thing about SaaS is that it is more like renting software than buying software. This means that users subscribe to the software license, often on a monthly basis, instead of making a payment for the service and then ‘buying’ the software. Often, files and data are stored in the “cloud” the SaaS service consists of and the programs themselves become lightweight, as they rely more on internet connection than hard disk space.

For companies that create SaaS solutions, in addition to the great advantages in accessibility for their end customers, they also provide the advantage of being able to receive revenue on an ongoing basis.

WordPress integration platform

WordPress has a built-in integration platform (API). This makes WordPress a good platform where it is easy to integrate other tools. With this integration platform, it is possible to create web services of various kinds where WordPress handles any amount of business logic.
