SaaS

=Software as a Service (SaaS)=

Short for Software as a Service, SaaS is way to provide software as a Web-based service. Benefits of SaaS include a cost that is usually less that paying for traditional licenses, no need for additional hardware, and allowing installation, set-up and maintenance and upgrades to be handled by the provider. All of these services are generally paid for based on a monthly fee. In this way customers rent the software somewhat analogous to leasing a car.
