2. Introduction — The Philosophy of SAAS

3. What is it? SAAS stands for Software as a Service It is commonly referred to as the Application Service Provider (ASP) model In general, Software As A Service meaning delivering software over the internet Its biggest feature is that it is generally sold on demand Its ability to simplify deployment and and reduce customer acquisition costs SAAS is also often associated with a "pay as you go" subscription licensing model

5. Key Characteristics of SAAS Available via the web Product support, maintenance, enhancement and deployment are managed centrally by the Vendor Deployment model is one-to-many in terms of feature-sets Pricing is kept as simple as possible Many SAAS products can be ordered, immediately deployed and paid for online Due to the Vendor requirement to "package" these products and make them "self-supporting", the offering is forced to be well thought out and simple from an end user's perspective First-line end user support is often not provided at all, or provided through online community forums, wikis and help documentation. Interfaces are thus developed to be extremely intuitive and self-supporting
