Frequently asked questions
How long does the process take to migrate to CBS’s cloud based SaaS solution?
The migration process varies in length due to numerous factors: your organisation’s current level of digital maturity and cloud readiness is one; the extent and complexity of your shift to the Cloud and SaaS tools is another. Other factors include the number of legacy applications that must be migrated and whether you’ll need to shift to a new vendor (e.g., no cloud version of a certain branded app exists).
Does CBS SaaS service meet compliance requirements?
Our secure private cloud has many compliance features out of the box, including ISO 27001 compliance, PCI-PSS, and APRA 234 aligned. Choosing to host your SaaS cloud services on this platform can secure many compliance benefits, too.
We’re also a trusted Microsoft Gold-Certified Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and a Qualified Multitenant Hoster (QMTH). If your business faces other compliance needs, our team can answer any questions about specific requirements.
What makes CBS’s SaaS solutions differ from the competition?
The key point of difference between CBS’ SaaS offering and the competition is our ability to deliver these services across a private, hybrid or multi-cloud environment. Choose from three different Cloud deployment models — Private, Public or Hybrid — to leverage each option’s scalability, efficiency, security and compliance characteristics. You gain the ability to meet any regulatory, compliance or security requirements required by industry, policy or your organisation.

"name": "What is the difference between PaaS and SaaS?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "SaaS stands for Software as a Service and refers to individual applications or utilities provided on a service (subscription) basis. The provider assumes responsibility for everything powering the SaaS tool. Common Cloud products such as Microsoft 365 are SaaS products.
PaaS extends this concept out to the development level: PaaS providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure, AWS Electric Beanstalk) handle everything necessary to provide a development platform as a service, from servers to virtualisation to even the runtime. Customers gain a platform where they can develop, test, and host applications without having to worry about internal computing or storage resources.
In other words, PaaS platforms are one way businesses build SaaS products."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is the difference between PaaS and IaaS?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) backs out one more level: the IaaS provider provides and maintains the physical infrastructure including virtualisation, but the client maintains control of O/S, middleware, runtime, and applications and data. Thus providing the entire network architecture as a cloud-hosted service.
PaaS providers offer everything developers need to develop; IaaS providers offer everything organisations need to operate in the Cloud but leave everything from the O/S level downward in the hands of the client company.
