Software-as-a-service (SaaS)
q q

SaaS is a new model of how software is delivered. SaaS "on-demand software," is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally (typically in the (Internet) cloud) and are typically accessed by users using a thin client, normally using a web browser over the Internet. SaaS refers to software that is accessed via a web browser and is paid on a subscription basis (monthly or yearly). Different from the traditional model where a customer buys a license to
software and assumes ownership for its maintenance and installation, SaaS presents significant advantages to the customer.

SaaS is faster and a cost effective way to getting implemented. There are no hardware, implementation or acquisition costs involved to run the application from the customer's side. It's the responsibility of the SaaS vendor (us) to manage and run the application with utmost security, performance and reliability. Since customers pay a subscription, they have immediate access to the new features and functionality. Unlike traditional softwares where upgrades would happen once a year or once in 6 months (with the vendor
coming to your office with a CD), the SaaS vendor continuously pushes new updates, fixes to the application, which is immediately accessible by the customer. This reduces the length of time it takes a customer to recognize value from the software.

SaaS can be used by Windows, Linux, or Mac users, providing true platform independence over the Internet

In 2003 exactly 10 years after R/3 was introduced SAP decided to go for new architecture, which was called Ether and then later Enterprise SOA. The first year was spent figuring out how to do enterprise SOA. SAP spent four years in R&D and developing Business ByDesign as a new foundation for SAPs ERP software.
