22. Modern scripting language Learn and use a modern scripting language. It can be Ruby, Python, Groovy or TheNextBigShot coming along, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is having a quick and easy tool for anything at hand so we won’t have to fire up our java IDE for a simple script. Perl Ruby PHP Python Groovy www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Softheme: Software Outsourcing Practices

23. Software as a service (SaaS) What does SaaS mean? It means, to put it very simply, software available for use online. There is no need to download it. Just signup on the internet and use it. It is similar to using yahoo/gmail; both are email programs running online and one just has to signup to them and start sending/receiving emails. www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Softheme: Software Outsourcing Practices

24. SaaS. Benefits Reduced need to predict scale of demand and infrastructure investment up front as available capacity matches demand Save money by not having to purchase servers or other software to support use Multi-Tenant efficiency Flexibility and scalability Focus Budgets on competitive advantage rather than infrastructure Monthly obligation rather than up front capital cost www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Softheme: Software Outsourcing Practices

25. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) "What’s cool about SOA is that you can actually make the business significantly better… it will both heal some enterprises, and optimize others." Joe McKendrick www.softheme.com Outsourcing to Softheme™ Softheme: Software Outsourcing Practices
