    Software as a service (SaaS)
    • A software distribution model in which a service provider hosts applications for customers and
    makes them available to these customers via the internet. A majority of SaaS applications run
    directly through your web browser, which means they do not require any downloads or
    installations on the client side.
    • Providers usually price SaaS products based on some type of usage parameters. For example, they
    might charge based on the number of people using the application, the number of transactions,
    or some other measure of usage.
    • Users typically access the applications using a web browser. Most SaaS offerings are based on a
    multitenant architecture, in which a single version of an application is used for all the service
    provider’s customers.
    • Organizations using SaaS applications can change configuration settings and customize the
    software, within certain parameters, to meet their particular needs. But they can’t customize
    its code or features to the same degree that is sometimes possible for enterprise software they
    install locally on users’ PCs or provide from their own datacenters.
    Top reasons for using SaaS? 
    • Because SaaS is based on cloud computing it saves organizations from installing and running
    applications on their own systems. That eliminates or at least reduces the associated costs of
    hardware purchases and maintenance and of software and support. The initial setup cost for a
    SaaS application is also generally lower than it for equivalent enterprise software purchased via a
    site license.
    • SaaS also provides enterprises the flexibility that they can subscribe to a SaaS offering as needed
    rather than having to buy software licenses and install the software on a variety of computers.  
    • The pay-as-you-go model of payment lets enterprises easier-to-manage budgeting.
    The Pay-Per-Use model involves usage or consumption-based billing. They pay only for
    what they have used or for how long they have used. They can stop subscribing to
    SaaS offerings whenever they want and thus stop those recurring costs. 
    SaaS advantages
    • SaaS removes the need for organizations to install and run applications on their own computers
    or in their own data centers. This eliminates the expense of hardware acquisition, provisioning
    and maintenance, as well as software licensing, installation and support. Other benefits of the
    SaaS model include:
    • Flexible payments
    • Scalable usage
    • Automatic updates
    • Accessibility and persistence
    • Customization
