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
