SaaS

Software as Service is the term for a new delivery model that is changing the balance of power in the software industry from the vendor towards the customer. Instead of installing and managing software on a server or your desktop, you subscribe to it as a service, so you only need a web browser on an Internet connected PC. The chracateristics of a SaaS system are:
1. The application is owned, delivered, and managed remotely by one or more providers
2. The application is based on single set of common code and data definitions which are consumed in a one-to-many model by all contracted customers at any time.
3. The application is licensed on pay-per-use or subscription basis
This portal collects together SaaS material from around the web.

But seriously, this is possibly the most complete assessment I’ve seen of Sage’s efforts, juxtaposed against its standing in the market. I particularly like the punchline: The fervour with which some commentators have urged Sage to move faster into the on-demand world is not just a sign of the competitive threat it faces from that direction, but also in some cases an affection for the Newcastle-born and ...

I always thought that the Software-as-a-Service market would expland during a recessionary economy because: 1) Companies don’t have capital dollars to buy software 2) The ability to pay-as-you-go appeals to CFO’s 3) No infrastructure to buy, since it is hosted or in the cloud. But this was a real surprise. According to IDC, 2009 will be a breakout year for SaaS! Robert Mahowald, research director at IDC says “SaaS thrives in down cycles, and as with the 2000 - 2001 downturn that gave Salesforce.com its start, the current freeze in IT and related Capex spending will help assure solid growth for most SaaS providers.” ...
