SaaS will Reduce the Trade Deficit with China

O.K, but this might sound bizarre. The software-as-a-Service movement could help reduce the USA trade deficit with China and here is how:

Well, if every business in America used software-as-a-service instead of the installed solutions, tremendous expenditures on hardware equipment would be eliminated. Most if not all of that hardware is imported from China for billions of dollars yearly.

If we could picture that the computer resides on the network, and our PC's at home or at work are low-cost no-processing machines with a low footprint on the environment, then Bingo! Not only will the trade deficit with China be significantly lowered since hardware will cost less and much of it will be eliminated; we will also help save our planet earth from all the eliminated emissions instead released into the atmosphere.

Besides; by innovating the software space we almost guarantee American companies first position in the SaaS market with hundreds of billions to be maid yearly.

The American Dollar is at an All-Time low compared to most world currencies, and while some jerk-type economist might persuade Americans it is bad to have a weak dollar, all American producers selling products and services internationally will generate more sales because their products and services out-of-the sudden (O.K-over 2 years) became 40% cheaper to Europeans and the rest of the world.

The USA largest Export sectors are by far technology and weapons which means plenty of opportunities for the Software-as-a-service model to generate substantial revenues and growth overseas with a weak dollar.

Just Imagine that most businesses of all sizes in the world use a hosted CRM software solution like NetSuite or Salesboom.com; millions of servers will no longer be bought from china, instead a portion of the cost would be paid to North American companies to host the service!

Not only will Software-as-a-Service help reduce the deficit with China, but it will also help curb the Chinese competition and threats to our economy.

At first, I thought the writer of this blog is radical or out of this world, but at second thoughts, yes it does make sense! Maybe it will not eliminate the trade deficit, but it will sure reduce it by using software-as-a-service model. By Tim Pink - 7/31/2007 5:01 PM
