It also includes the competitive landscape and end users feedback and buying behavior. SaaS delivery facilitates the way for SMBs' IT adoption. We can see more opportunities of SaaS application in the China SMB market. However, there is still potential for improvement because this market is still at the initial stage. "Feedback from both existing and potential SaaS users indicates that China SMBs have recognized the principal characteristics of SaaS. Between the two groups, concerns are roughly equal on the top 3 factors while largely differing from the rest. Due to better focus for the top 3 factors combined with a growing buying attitude, we anticipate that online software is getting closer to meeting SMBs' generic demands on informationalization. Concerns regarding the big gap between the two groups shows that without applying real online software, SMBs cannot easily remove their worries", notes Vivian Yu, senior service analyst, IDC China. " We find that SMBs do not have high satisfaction with the TCO of SaaS applications. That will run counter to SMBs' initial desires. However, with the pressure for profits, it is hard to let SaaS vendors reduce products prices ceaselessly. To SaaS vendors, there will be more challenges in the balance of increasing profits and customers' satisfaction. Furthermore, the methods that offer more value-add service products and increase customer adherence rate for the novice can be taken into consideration", says Emily Bian, software analyst, IDC China.
