If you’re in the business world, chances are you’ve heard of SaaS, either on a highly involved level, or at least in passing. For those who are still confused as to exactly what SaaS is, let me explain.
SaaS, or software as a service, is any sort of centrally hosted software that is used by customers on a subscription basis. So any time you’re using a program that you don’t personally own, you are using software as a service. Services like Dropbox and Salesforce have become increasingly popular, on both an individual and commercial level, allowing those who use them to have access to the benefits the software provides without having to shell out a lot of money to own the software or worry about hosting space.
