SaaS offers eCommerce Managers a number of key benefits over open source solutions. The total cost of ownership is lower, because instead of having to pay separate bills for hosting, site updates (including security patches), new development and more, SaaS solutions handle all of this within one subscription price, taking the pressure off your team to have to manage all of these items. Second, it allows the team to focus on other elements, instead of needing team expertise on how to manage the technical aspects of an eCommerce platform, as outages and other issues ultimately fall upon the team to be involved in, and many times resolve.
