There are over 25Lakh businesses in India, ranging from micro businesses to very large enterprises and MNCs. All these businesses have one thing in common - billing. Especially after the advent of GST, and regulations like e-invoicing; invoicing and billing software have become one of the necessities of businesses today.

There are generally 4 types of software:

On-site Software: It consists of hosting and running the entire software on local servers and provides complete control over the software and infrastructure. Although you need an inhouse IT professional, invest heavy upfront cost for installation & maintenance, and get a large physical space for keeping the servers. The USP of such software is complete privacy and security. Hence, these are generally popular in banks, government institutions, defence departments, or by companies that are legally required to have a an on-premise system. Similarly, it is not really advisable for businesses not in the above given sector, who wishes to scale faster, tolerate fewer maintenance headaches and save on heavy upfront costs.

Hosted Software: These software are managed by specialised software provider that aren’t fully native. The team members are to sign into the systemt and have a dedicated client interfacte. Since the entire hardware set up and maintenance is taken care of by the service provider, the company is saved from all the hassle. But these solutions too are very expensive, and requires large physical space for setup. These are generally used by organisations that need security similar to the one that on-site software provide, but are not willing to invest in completely owned setup.

Cloud based Software: These software run entirely on internet, provided by a SaaS based service provider. It saves you from heavily investing on physical servers, provides easy upgradations without disrupting your work, and can be scaled on demand. Although cloud software may not be able to provide customisations specific to your business. When it comes to security, SaaS may not match the high class security of an on-premise software. But government have many rules and regulations that regulates such service providers for optimum security. Moreover with growing competition, increase in education and social media, such service providers are kept in check, making sure your data security is their top most priority. And that’s why cloud based software are now being popularly adopted by companies worldwide for its ease of use, low cost and easy scaliblity.

Hybrid Solutions: These solutions are a perfect mix of on-site and cloud counterparts. Here, certain services and data remain onsite, whereas rest is taken care of on cloud. These are generally used by legacy enterprises. Companies already have an on-premise system that makes it easy for them to retain valuable data for security purposes, and move the rest on cloud based systems for faster growth.

The above clearly shows why cloud based billing systems are the need of the hour and are rapidly growing worldwide.

Here are some interesting facts related to cloud billing software:
