Software as a Service (SaaS)
We utilize cloud infrastruture software to enable rapid development of highly scalable
SaaS based or traditional enterprise applications. As a result, mission critical
business applications will continue to perform and scale as market demands increase.
As one of the oldest and most popular models of Cloud Computing, Software as a Service
(SaaS) is also one of the most familiar to the general public. SaaS has evolved
from the earlier software delivery model used by Application Service Providers (ASP).
While ASPs used dedicated hardware and software resources tailored to the needs
of individual clients, SaaS providers leverage the economies of scale inherent in
the cloud in order to deliver more homogeneous applications to a wider user base.
Today, many people use freely available web based email and productivity software
without even realizing they are SaaS customers. Even the voicemail service provided
by your phone company is essentially a SaaS alternative to owning and operating
a conventional answering machine. While Infrastructure as a Service offers core
services in the form of virtual machines, and Platform as a Service provides an
interface for programming applications, SaaS takes the concept a step further by
delivering complete applications. End users own and operate their client interface
devices as the final service level . These devices can be small footprint software
installations, web browsers, or mobile devices. As is the case with voicemail, even
a telephone can act as the client layer for Software as a Service.
Since Cloud Computing seeks to deliver information technology resources simply as
a service to end users, Software as a Service is the logical limit of its potential.
As with other cloud computing models, there is no requirement for hardware acquisition,
installation, or maintenance. SaaS clients do not need to utilize any systems administration
or development resources either. While SaaS clients may be able select various software
options, its defining characteristic is that software development is not needed
before an application is deployed to end users. At TechNeurons most services are sold with a monthly
or annual fee per user such that the costs are less than enterprise application
licensing. SaaS clients value the instant scalability of SaaS as well as the ease
of collaboration common to cloud hosted applications.
