EC News DeskAs the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, Alibaba Cloud provides a highly compatible and standards-based open platform that allows SaaS partners to onboard easily and thrive. As such, the company is a SaaS enabler and an ecosystem builder.
“Alibaba Cloud is a SaaS enabler and an ecosystem builder.”
From a business perspective, SaaS reduces application or software delivery time as it eliminates the need for architecture planning, software implementation and application customisation, among other needs. It also frees up human resources to let consumer focus on core businesses and content delivery rather than underlying technologies.
SaaS offers high availability and scalability. Traditionally, implementing enterprise software takes months – from inception to launch. SaaS shortens the delivery time drastically – patch management of an application and its underlying stack are always pain points for businesses, especially if they need to comply with policies or standards such as PCI DSS.

The accelerator helps SaaS customers deploy and test their applications on the cloud, shorten the implementation lifecycle, and go live in as little as five days.
“Alibaba Cloud complies with local laws and regulations.”
