What is SaaS
SaaS or software as a service is one of the cloud-based services when subscribers are provided with out-of-the-box application software fully serviced by a provider. Such a type of solution is also called software on demand.
SaaS providers independently manage the application, providing customers with access to certain functionality on a subscription basis. In a nutshell, the business using the SaaS solution does not control or own the infrastructure needed to host the service and just pays money to use it.
The SaaS nowadays offers a wide range of functionality: from CRM to accounting systems. As a rule, the functionality provided by SaaS solutions is built according to the common practice of business process organizing. So typically, you have a choice between several packages of predefined functionality at a different price.
