What is CoSaaS? Services, delivered as software
Software gives you a tool. Consulting gives you people. CoSaaS gives you the outcome: a proven solution, configured to your business and run with you until it pays.
Most companies buy one of two things when they want a problem solved. They buy software and hope their team will use it. Or they hire consultants and hope the work outlives the engagement. Both can work. Both often don't.
CoSaaS, short for consulting and services as software, is a third way. It sells the outcome.
The idea in one sentence
80% of the solution is already built and proven, 20% is configured to your business, and our team runs it with you until it pays.
How it differs
| Software | Consulting | CoSaaS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A tool | People and a report | A working outcome |
| Who does the work | Your team | The consultants | Both, together |
| Time to first value | After rollout | After the report | Weeks, on your data |
| What you pay for | Licences | Days | What you deploy |
| What stays when it ends | The tool | The report | The running solution, and the know-how |
What the 80% is
A library of tests, models, connectors and workflows that has already run at other companies. It is why the first findings arrive in weeks: nobody starts from a blank page.
What the 20% is
Your data, your rules, your thresholds and your approvals. Configuration, not custom code: the parts that make the solution fit your business without making it impossible to maintain.
What "runs it with you" means
Our team operates the solution alongside yours. We tune the tests, review the exceptions, report the value and train your people. As your team takes over, our part shrinks. The aim is for you to need us less over time, not more.
How you pay
You pay for what you deploy. No large licence up front for modules that may never be used, and no open-ended consulting days.
Where to see it
