WHAT IS SaaS?
Not too familiar with SaaS? It’s no problem — many of us were in your shoes when we started at BLASTmedia. Here’s what you need to know:
- SaaS stands for software-as-a-service
- The SaaS delivery model is where software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted on external servers in the cloud (not hosted in servers on-premise). SaaS products can be accessed from any device with an internet connection and a web browser
- Well-known SaaS companies you’ve probably heard of include Salesforce, Zoom, and Slack
- SaaS is a huge market, and growing at a rapid pace, with more than 15,000 SaaS companies globally and 80% of businesses using at least one SaaS application. SaaS delivery of software will significantly outpace traditional software product delivery, growing nearly five times faster than the traditional software market
