#1: Improved agility and scalability
MaaS offers a game-changing advantage: it allows you to expand your business into new sectors or launch new product lines more easily. You can add features and functionality to your software environment and schedule system and features upgrades at a time that works best for you, giving you control of when you upgrade, add to or change your application.
With MaaS support, the added workload won’t strain your resources or capacity. You can ensure agility for your business while quickly adding capacity for new products, employees or accounts, making the scaling process much smoother and helping to ease the burden of growing your business.
