DEFINITION of SAAS |
|||
Software as a Service may become one of the most important developments in the software industry. The characteristics for SaaS are: |
|||
* Software is provided over the Internet and hosted with a hosting entity |
|||
* The provided service accepts your data and manages your data and processes in the respective software. |
|||
* The user does not have to take care of hardware infrastructure, data backup, software updates etc. |
|||
* In contrast, a website or an e-commerce software which somebody just consumes is not considered Software as a Service, unless that software has an API and can be used by a third party for their own purposes |
|||
* And finally Software as a Service is typically paid in a annual, quarterly or monthly cycle - not as a perpetual license. |
|||
* Unlike software leasing, the service provider owns the software, guarantees to manage it and allows users to use it for a given timeframe. While a leased software is owned by the leasing company and exclusively used by the leasee. |
