SaaS is an acronym for Software as a Service, which means "software as a service" in Chinese. It is a cloud computing model, which means that software applications are provided to users over Internet. Users do not need to purchase or install software, but only need to use functions of software through network. In a SaaS model, vendor is responsible for operating, maintaining, and updating software, while users only need to pay attention to features and data they need to use. The main advantage of SaaS model is that it allows users to reduce IT costs, increase efficiency and flexibility.

What is an online help center?

Help Center is an online service platform that provides help and support to users, also known as User Help Center, Customer Service Center, etc. In Help Center, users can find and view questions related to a product or service, tutorials, documentation, and other resources for a better user experience. Help Centers typically include features and modules such as Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), user guides, video demos, online support, and community forums so that users can quickly and easily find information and solutions they need. With help center, enterprises can provide users with better customer service, increase user satisfaction and loyalty, and at same time reduce burden on customer service staff, improve efficiency and use of resources.

3. Long response time. SaaS customer support staff need to process a large number of requests, so response times may not be on time. This affects user satisfaction and loyalty.
4. Technical support is difficult: SaaS products usually have a high technical threshold and require some technical support. However, due to lack of on-site technical support, customers may experience difficulties with repairs.
