The survey also found that 83.6 percent of respondents cite their comfort level with technology as being a major factor in their willingness to go to a completely virtual business. According to TIE Commerce, major advancements in technologies such as Software as a Service (SaaS) alleviate the pressure of in-house software management, in turn making the transition to virtual business that much more obtainable.

“In this day and age, Software as a Service can liberate a company, allowing them to focus on their business and not on their virtual infrastructure,” said Mr. Tervo. “Taking your business virtual has become infinitely easier with SaaS, as it allows providers to remotely manage and configure all of the technical aspects of running your business virtually, allowing you to focus on taking care of your critical business needs.”
