What is SaaS?

Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS for short, is a cloud-based method of providing software to users. SaaS users subscribe to an application rather than purchasing it once and installing it. Users can log into and use a SaaS application from any compatible device over the Internet. The actual application runs in cloud servers that may be far removed from a user’s location.

SaaS stands for software as a service. It is a method of software delivery and licensing in which software is accessed online via a subscription rather than bought and installed on individual computers. This business model creates so many advantages for both developers and users that 33% of companies are using more SaaS applications than they did in 2016, and roughly three-quarters of companies will have nearly all of their apps as SaaS by 2020.
