AutomateAlways try and kill off the extremely manual tasks first.
Even better, kill off the boring bits so people enjoy their job.
![Page 18: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Connect
What is your sweet spot?
For everything else connect to the best.
![Page 19: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SimplifyAttack the worst exception. Repeat.
What's slowing you down?
![Page 20: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Be exceptions based. Automate everything you can with systems and procedures.
Saasu.com | the web finance engine is obviously a good start.
![Page 21: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Systems simplicityReduce the number of systems you use.Adopt more online services. Reduce the complexity and duplication of tasks....The All SaaS Enterprise (ASE) is the way of the future..
![Page 22: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
All SaaS Enterprises (ASE's) are productive.
Your infrastructure and outsource capability is very high in an ASE. Backups, upgrades, data storage and security are cheap. e.g you can get
all your flickr photos on a disk for about $20. How can you possibly improve on that by doing backups yourself?
![Page 23: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ASE means security and big iron
(or at least lots of well managed small iron).
Is your technology big (scale), secure and well
managed?
SaaS has multiple measures of security and
backups that are difficult to achieve in a smaller scale
DIY approach.Often these risks are
hidden in a non-ASE world until it is too late.
![Page 24: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Service is salessell more to less
more to moremore for lessless for more
Turn what is normally a cost into a benefit and continue to standardise service through procedure and automation.
Service is a super opportunity to:
sell, cross-sell, upselllearnautomate helpmake customers happyretainprice based on value to buyer by knowing more
![Page 25: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Exploit unused time buckets.A simple thing like giving staff mobile web access might create 20 minutes a day where it didn't exist. Reading email or blogs on a train trip as an example.Keep valuing your time!
![Page 26: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Good operations. Command and control.Control helps create predictable results. Don't stifle the creativity. We give creativity it's time and place but within limits. It's not about clocking on or off but it is about getting projects done and that means coal face work - no two ways about it. Don't confuse web with waffle.
![Page 27: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Exercising cheap or free options.Outsourcing can be so cheap that it is nearly a free option. E.g. extremely cheap service plans from Apple are very 'insurance like'. Potentially capping cost for a small premium.
![Page 28: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Compounding productivity magic.Small amounts of automation or productivity today result in a large Future Value impact on your business. Better still, many small gains over time create compounding efficiency.
Perhaps this is why some seem to achieve the seemingly impossible with limited resources and time.
![Page 29: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Minimise transition and duplication costs.Moving between tasks has transition costs. Minutes saved per day lead to many hours saved per year. The cumulative effect.
![Page 30: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
TCO is old school.
What's the Future Value Impact of your investment on your companies equity value? The cultural shifts, the productivity impact, the automation, they must all be factored into the ROI
![Page 31: Saas Ecosystem - Turn It On](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042813/540c0e6c8d7f72dc6a8b479c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
TPOTime is money, it faces market forces. Saasu built an efficient, low cost of sales business by avoiding jamming too much development into a short time bucket. Fast development means paying a premium price.

Rule out, don't rule in.It's too easy to load a project e.g. for Saasu it is a release cycle. We tend to rule out based on lack of requests. We also rule out features that take us back into our competitors arena - we avoid the red ocean. Read the book.

Key Productivity DriverPassion
Don't let it only be about the money. It also has to be an authentic love of exploration and creation. Most of all it needs to be about the game. Playing it
like you are on the field, not watching from the stands.

How? Big 3 ApproachPlan to completion before you start (at least at a high level)
Use SaaS to manage the project (learn, develop culture, see benefits)
Minimise (customisation, sources of the truth, vendors, connectors, power users)
Also...Inbuilt Connectors/ APIs are GREATGive preference to SaaS vendors with APIs they get you out of a lot of trouble laterMinimise number of vendors but balance with innovation/risk.Don't be afraid to get them competing especially if the business units are relatively independent.
