SaaS (Software as a Service)     Software as a service (SaaS) is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet. Software as a Service (SaaS) it means that delivering your software over the Internet which is increasingly popular for its ability to simplify deployment and reduce customer acquisition costs, it also helps developers to support many customers with a single version of a product. SaaS is also often associated with a "you pay as you go" subscription licensing model. The best part of SaaS is that the software's producers can make updates with minor interruption to the users over the Interweb. No more patch application, backup, downtime, uptime, testing periods required. The SaaS producer apparently does that in advance of releasing the update. One of the advantage claimed for Software as a Service (Saas) is that new features automatically appear without having to install updates. Key Features of Software as a Service (SaaS) SaaS is a well-established phenomenon in some areas of enterprise IT. It is growing into a mainstream option for software-based business solutions and will affect in some way most enterprise IT departments in the next three years. There are multiple business and technology forms in which the SaaS model will manifest itself at mainstream enterprises; one model will not fit all. Enterprise software vendors have not yet established the best practices in supporting SaaS application styles, nor are there applicable industry standards. Traditional technology platforms, such as standards-based application servers, are sufficient for simple SaaS use, but advanced and broad-based SaaS offerings now and in the future will rely on specialized or extended SaaS-enabled application platforms. In the next three years, most mainstream users will face the need to understand the trade-offs of SaaS and non-SaaS software models, as well as the best practices of a mixed SaaS and non-SaaS IT environment.

Since SaaS applications lack superiority in BPM and process design, and due to the lack of ESPs offering business process opinion, the increasing spread of SaaS CRM applications threatens CRM efforts. QualSoft understand creating a SaaS offering is a significantly challenging because nearly every aspect of the SaaS business is different from the standard software-licensing model. Beyond the business model, the technology team also needs to deal with issues of security, multi-tenancy, and manageability that are of much greater concern than in a typical commercial software product. SaaS applications are fundamentally different in architecture, involving scalable, configurable, multi-tenant architectures. They also have higher complexity in terms of ensuring reliability, scalability, configurability, performance, and security. While the benefits to both end users and SaaS vendors themselves are obvious, transitioning is not a simple challenge.
