Achieve Your Business Goals With Software as a Service

Software-as-a-Service or SaaS, is a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and made available to customers over a network, typically the Internet.

SaaS is becoming an increasingly prevalent delivery model as underlying technologies that support Web services and service-oriented architecture mature and new developmental approaches become popular. SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser. SaaS has been incorporated into the strategy of all leading enterprise software companies.
