SaaS - Software as Service
What is SaaS?
Software as a Service or SaaS is an application licensing and delivery model sometimes referred to as hosted, cloud-based or on-demand. The SaaS software distribution model is one in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and access to the application and functionality are delivered remotely as a service.
SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser. SaaS has become a common delivery model for many business applications, including office & messaging software, DBMS software, management software, CAD software, Development software, virtualization, accounting, collaboration, customer relationship management (CRM), management information systems (MIS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), invoicing, human resource management (HRM), content management (CM) and service desk management.
SaaS has been incorporated into the strategy of all leading enterprise software companies. One of the biggest selling points for these companies is the potential to reduce IT support costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the SaaS provider.
What are the Benefits of a SaaS Delivery Model?
SaaS provides IT a greater opportunity to deliver real business value to the organization through lower predictable costs and an increased ability to focus on innovation and differentiation. Instead of installing, maintaining and updating hardware and software, IT can simply access applications with enterprise-grade availability, performance and security via the cloud.
