SaaS for Software Design with UML

Nov. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- UML is a well-proven modeling technique in software development field. However, not many software teams are willing to adopt UML because most of the software design products that provide comprehensive UML support require a considerable amount of initial investment. Thanks to Visual Paradigm's SaaS cost model, now, development teams just need to spend little money for enjoying the great benefits of adapting UML to software design.

  Since its inception, Visual Paradigm has offered a simple and affordable pricing structure. And from now on, Visual Paradigm customers can choose to pay a monthly subscription fee to use Visual Paradigm modeling software on-demand. In an effort to provide our users with the highest level of service possible, we are so glad to provide our customers with the SaaS-based option. says Angus Chan, product manager of Visual Paradigm.

  SaaS-based UML tool is particularly favorable for software teams who want to explore the possibility of adopting UML in their project environments.  "You (software team) can start a pilot project without the high upfront cost." says Angus Chan, product manager of Visual Paradigm. "If you have a software team of 30 developers and you want to equip them with the best software design product, you probably need to spend over $10,000 for software licenses. But with SaaS, our customers can get a UML design tool with, not only UML diagramming but also code engineering and database engineering features, by just paying USD $15.00 per developer per month."

  The SaaS-based option is also beneficial for software teams who work with external consultants in short-term projects, which has a short duration, perhaps several months to half a year, and the consultants do not have a long term relationship with the companies. By subscripting to UML product on monthly basis, the companies can equip the consultants with the software design tool they need during the project period without having to splash out money on purchasing any perpetual licenses.
