SaaS a.k.a. Software-as-Service has come to life in the recent past especially in Europe. It is changing the way organisations work by optimising interactions and simplifying analytics.
What is SaaS?
For the starters, Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. The application will run on a SaaS vendor’s servers. Also, access to the application, including performance, security, and availability is maintained by the same provider.
