Once known as the product of an Application
Service Provider (ASP), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has matured to become
a leading trend in outsourced software application management for a wide
variety of applications, servicing all types and sizes of companies.
SaaS provides Web-based access to a centrally-managed, offsite software
application, such as an e-mail system or CRM package. The responsibility
for tasks like maintenance, scalability and disaster recovery falls upon
the SaaS provider, not the actual user of the application. Companies who
take advantage of this software-on-demand application delivery model have
a wider range of products at their disposal, without the maintaining
dedicated IT staff to manage them.

on this cost-effective and low-hassle business technology.
