Hosted Services
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a model where an application is delivered over the Internet and customers pay on a per-use basis. It is the most common form of 'cloud computing services' delivered today.
High Level Benefits:
Follows people, not computers – Traditional applications are installed locally, purchased per machine, and only work on one computer. SaaS follow a user wherever he or she goes, are paid by subscription, and can work on any device with attached to the Internet.
Easy to deploy – Traditional software requires resource-consuming deployment to physical machines. SaaS can be rolled out via the web.
Updates – Traditional software requires costly updates and patches on each individual installation. SaaS updates automatically in the cloud.
CAPEX/OPEX – Traditional software is often a costly lump sum payment for licensing, installation, and customization (capital expenses). SaaS can be shifted to a lower monthly license with little to no start up fees (operational expense).
