Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is amongst the fastest growing segments of information technology industry. By now, it is well-known and accepted that SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model is not just hype and it is here to stay. SaaS is defined by the business benefits it delivers to customers; faster time-to-value, lower cost of ownership, and increasing value over time through ongoing free upgrades.

SaaS offers in terms of lowering cost of ownership and operations, predictable and recurring revenue, ability to easily reach new customers of all sizes etc are too many to resist. Its business benefits include better support (since all customers are on one version of the software and the SaaS provider knows the user’s data, configuration, and usage), easier deployment, and lower hidden costs as there are no SaaS upgrade projects, patches to apply, databases to back up and restore, etc.

All the key components of SaaS architecture and infrastructure – multi-tenant, single-version, shared infrastructure, fully webified, configurable, metered and actively monitored – simply serve to deliver these benefits.
