internet. The company publicizes itself through its website and other internet means to publicize

sales representatives who find clients on behalf of the company. The company engages various

The economic value created by a customer by using a particular product is determined by the
anticipated benefits associated by the product that is being consumed. The economic value to
customer for a product is calculated by comparing the cost of the product or equipment and
comparing the cost associated with the current product with the cost of the current commodity.
In this case, the cost and benefit of using E-commerce is assessed against the cost of using
Saas. The E-commerce business has expanded and become more reliable with the
development of social media which has resulted to an evolution in customer service. Most
businesses have shifted their sales to online platform and this has made it increasingly
important for companies to offer E-commerce customer service. One of the advantages of E-
commerce over Saas is that the E-commerce customer service is that it helps in shaping and
controlling buying cycles and amplifying the voices of the consumers whereas SaaS only
answers the queries of consumers concerning organizations products (Gillin & Schwartzman
2011). This therefore means that the customer E-commerce interacts with customers better
than SaaS on a personal level basis and therefore customers and the organization create a
better understanding between them.
