As businesses increasingly rely on cloud-based solutions, choosing the right SaaS (Software as a Service) provider becomes a critical decision. With so many options available, finding a provider that aligns with your specific needs can be challenging. Here’s a guide to the key factors you should consider when evaluating SaaS providers.

 Security and Compliance

Data security is paramount, especially when you are trusting a third party with sensitive business information. You should evaluate the security protocols that the SaaS provider has in place to ensure your data is safe from breaches, cyberattacks, or leaks. At Genesis Systems we ensure you data security is our priority!

Questions to ask:

• What security measures do they implement?
• Are they compliant with industry regulations?
• How do they handle data backups and disaster recovery?

 Scalability

As your business grows, your software needs will likely change. It’s essential to choose a SaaS provider that can scale with you. This means the software should be flexible enough to accommodate increasing users, data volume, and complexity without sacrificing performance or significantly increasing costs.

Questions to ask:

• Can the service scale as my business grows?
• Are there any additional costs for scaling?
• How easy is it to add more users or features?

 Integration Capabilities

No software operates in isolation. The ability of a SaaS platform to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems is critical for ensuring smooth workflows and data consistency. At Genesis we offer robust APIs or native integrations with the tools your team already uses.

Questions to ask:

• What integrations are available out of the box?
• How easy is it to integrate the software with other tools?
• Is there a cost for API access or custom integrations?

 Support and Customer Service

Good customer support can make or break your experience with a SaaS provider. Whether you encounter technical issues or simply need guidance on using the product, responsive and knowledgeable support is crucial. Genesis Systems offers several support channels such as chat, email, and phone support.

Questions to ask:

• What support channels do they offer?
• What are their support hours?
• Is there a dedicated account manager for larger clients? 

Pricing and Contract Terms

SaaS pricing models can vary widely, with options ranging from monthly subscriptions to annual contracts. Be sure to review the pricing structure in detail, including any potential hidden fees. Additionally, consider the flexibility of the contract—some providers may lock you into long-term commitments, while others may offer more flexible month-to-month plans.

Questions to ask:

• Are there any setup fees or hidden costs?
• Is there a discount for annual contracts?
• What happens if I want to cancel or switch providers?

Product Innovation and Updates

The tech landscape evolves quickly, and so should your software. Genesis Systems provides regular updates, security patches, and performance enhancements. This not only ensures that you have access to the latest technologies but allows you to stay ahead of industry trends.

Questions to ask:

• How frequently are new features and updates released?
• Do they listen to customer feedback when developing new features?
• Are updates automatic or manual?

User Experience and Training

Even the most feature-rich software won’t be beneficial if your team struggles to use it. Genesis Systems provides an intuitive user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) that make it easy to navigate and perform tasks. Additionally, Genesis Systems offers unlimited remote training sessions to help onboard your team efficiently.

Questions to ask:

• How intuitive is the user interface?
• What training resources do they offer?
• Do they provide personalized onboarding for new clients?

As many RingCentral users quickly realize, call reporting isn't as real-time or accurate as they'd like. Daily call logs are not available until the following day, and the built-in reporting can show issues (e.g. excessive missed calls) which aren't actually occurring but are a result of having more unique installations. Users are increasingly contacting us as their need for timely access to accurate information is not being fulfilled.

We've not only identified the issues that cause most users frustration, but have designed our reporting from the ground up to avoid these issues entirely, while handling the unique challenges of the RingCentral system. The interfaces available to developers - while powerful and reliable - aren't designed for ongoing data collection & reporting like what a typical Call Accounting / Tracking solution would use, and because of this, require an entirely differently designed solution.

The available interfaces however allow for features which are not possible in standard Call Accounting solutions. Some of these reduce the amount of direct administration necessary, others provide access to more timely information, and improve staff safety.

Anyone familiar with RingCentral's built-in reporting will appreciate the flexible reporting and report delivery options built-in to our fully RingCentral-designed solution. Contact us to see how Genesis Call Accounting for RingCentral improves your business oversight, safety, and ultimately, performance.
