Business case for Software as a Service Report

This educational and promotional document defines Software as a Service (SaaS) and highlights the benefits it can bring to business and customers through an evolved system of software delivery. It further provides information on implementation, costs, security issues and legalities.

In this paper, the authors (a group of SaaS vendors, IT consultants and lawyers) have set out to illustrate why there is a growing interest in SaaS, why it is having such an impact on both the technology industry and its customers, and why it isn’t really about the technology at all but about service to customer organisation.
