Seattle Executives Association Meeting

PSPINC has been a proud member of the Seattle Executives Association, one of the oldest and most established business executives network associations, since 2003. I had the privilege of serving on the Board as Treasurer, and later as President of the association in 2010.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we transitioned to virtual meetings using Zoom, but now we are excited to resume our face-to-face meetings. Despite losing a few members due to the pandemic, we are working hard to rebuild our membership to pre-COVID levels.

If you are a business owner and interested in joining our network, please don't hesitate to contact me. If your business category is available, I would be more than happy to extend an invitation for you to attend one of our lunch meetings.

PSPINCは、2003年以来、最も古く、確立されたビジネスエグゼクティブネットワーク協会の1つであるシアトルエグゼクティブ協会のメンバーです。私は理事として参加し、2010年には協会の会長を務めました。

COVID-19パンデミック中は、Zoomを使用したバーチャルミーティングに移行しましたが、現在は対面のミーティングに戻っています。パンデミックによる会員の減少がありましたが、前の状況に戻るために一生懸命努力しています。

ビジネスオーナーの方で、私たちのネットワークに参加を希望される場合は、お気軽にご連絡ください。ご所属のビジネスカテゴリーが利用可能であれば、ランチミーティングにご招待することができます。

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 232 Contract Development and SaaS (Software as a Service)

Contract Development and SaaS (Software as a Service)

When you do a SaaS (Software as a Service) business, which is sold through distributors, software development is no longer a "contract development" (Work for Hire). Understanding this difference may change the way you think about and how you develop your business with PSPINC.

For example, we are currently developing a SaaS-based online reservation system. However, since we are providing the system as SaaS, we would like to minimize the burden on our clients by only charging money for set-up and monthly usage fee.

In the case of a contract development, software is an intellectual property of the client, but in the case of SaaS, it is the intellectual property of PSPINC. On the other hand, PSPINC is responsible for updating the security of SaaS products, but if it is a contracted development, the customer is responsible for their security updates.

The difference between contracted development and SaaS is similar to the difference between buying a car or renting a car. You need to consider who owns the car, who is going to be responsible for keeping up with the maintenance, and which type is more suitable for you. We have been developing SaaS-based systems because we rarely do contract developments. If there is a system that you need, we would like to develop it as SaaS and offer it to you in the future.

What kind of system would you like to use if it was available?
