Why? Tap water charging system From CS software to BS software and then to SAAS platform software?
"CS software", "BS software" and "SAAS platform software" are technical terms.
If you are a worker in the water industry, you need to understand these terms and the differences between the corresponding software in order to choose a tap water charging system or meter reading charging system, or a department's business management software, then take a look at the following instructions!
CS software
Just like all kinds of apps in mobile phones. First, you need to search, download and install from the mobile app store; When using, ensure that the mobile phone is connected to the Internet; The data generated during use is stored on the App server.
So, it seems simple, but pay attention to:
There is no app store on your computer. After the computer is bought back, it does not have the function of an app store, so you cannot download it from the app store.
All kinds of CS software we talk about are generally trading software. These software are not easy to find on the Internet, and are generally provided separately by contacting the software provider.
There are requirements for the installation environment, such as the operating system version. After reinstalling the computer, you need to install the software again.
BS software
BS software, like web pages, can be used through a browser and is mainly made to simplify installation. BS software is also provided by software manufacturers.
General enterprises need to purchase one or more servers for their own use of BS software. Most of the BS software is installed on the server, and usually only the browser is used.
You need to create a LAN environment for more people to use it together. This requires not only investment, but also daily maintenance by professionals.
In a word, BS software is much more convenient than CS software in maintenance.
SAAS platform software
SAAS platform software combines the advantages of BS software, and does not need to build a server. The server is provided by the software provider, and you only need a browser to use it. You don't need to consider the server maintenance, computer room construction, and personal computer reinstallation.
You may be worried
If you are worried that the SAAS software is not reliable, or your data is not secure on someone else's server, you will be stuck by the software provider. These concerns are not unreasonable, but they are too worrying:
It depends on how the software provider charges. Generally speaking, after each software development is completed, there will be subsequent upgrades. If it is a one-time payment and you are given a software account, the above situation may indeed occur when the sales are completed.
If you don't need to pay a lot of money at the beginning, but pay on demand, monthly or yearly, then you don't need to worry too much, because software vendors can make profits only if you use it. If you do not use it because of poor service or serious product quality problems, they will not be able to continue to make profits.
If you are worried that this kind of software is very cheap at the beginning, subsequent software manufacturers will try to add extra fees, "this will also charge that", which will cost more money and more things than building a BS system by yourself, then it depends on your needs. Is the software manufacturer customized for you or generic? The customized function may only be available to you, and few other customers may use it except you, so there may be additional costs later. However, if this is a general software that can be used by many customers, these costs will be shared equally by many customers, and will not cause additional large expenditures later.
In general, industry software ranges from CS software to BS software, and then to SAAS platform software. This trend is driven by customer needs and technological development. What you need to decide is to find a reliable software service provider, pay a reasonable fee and enjoy a relatively long-term service.
