I know a lot of small business owners love SaaS that reduce their IT department to someone who can buy a new iPad and log into the apps again.
Payroll, POS, inventory, backup, etc and the owners can keep track of everything remotely. Setup a backup mobile internet solution, and your biggest IT problem becomes regional loss of electricity.
Nothing for employees or others to steal, nothing to spend on tech support labor, and being up and running again is just a matter of replacing the iPad.

It’s also very easy to justify. As long as the product generates more value than it’s monthly price, it doesn’t matter what it costs. And it’s so low risk since you can cancel any time.
