SaaS is a software deployment model in which an enterprise application is delivered and managed as a service by the vendor to meet the needs of multiple customers simultaneously. A widely used example is the service model used by ADP to provide payroll and other business services to multiple organizations.

SaaS solutions are delivered via a network, most often the Web. They are priced on a subscription service basis, often based on the number of users or seats. The accompanying document is a primer for understanding and maximizing the value of SaaS solutions.
