The emergence of 'Software as a Service' (SaaS or Cloud Computing) as a delivery model is about to revolutionize retail technology.  SaaS is where software applications are hosted as a service provided through a private network or over the internet.  This eliminates the need for retailers to select, purchase, maintain and replace expensive server hardware and IT infrastructure to run the programs at their sites.

The retail environment is more susceptible to disasters involving loss of data than other office environments.  In addition to environmental risks, the fact that our pricing data changes on a regular basis also increases the margin for error.  Whilst most retailers back up their system as part of their end of day process.  No real tests and checks are made to ensure the data has maintained its integrity and is restorable or taken off site.
