Software vendors due to rising competition, changing business requirements, faster time to delivery and ongoing growth are forced to develop quality product in short product life cycles. They are also forced to align their core people to focus on market expansion and other critical tasks at the same time trying to reduce their back-office costs thus forcing them to tap in resources from outside the organization.
SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) provides answer to many of the client's problem. It provides an alternative to buying software and paying for periodic upgrades. It provides an alternative to paying for and maintaining technical resources and infrastructure. SaaS model is now a day's commonly used for applications such as new product development, marketing, sales, customer service, portals, content management and collaboration being made available on a usage or time-basis via the Web. Since SaaS is subscription-based, upgrades are routinely provided during the term of the subscription and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) are always defined and followed to ensure the proper level of services and support.
