Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is rapidly gaining acceptance in small and large companies alike. In fact, in a July 2008 survey by the Open Solutions Alliance, 72 per cent of companies surveyed said software-as-a-service was an important part of their business strategy.

The benefits are clear. Buying software as a service eliminates the need for hardware, operating systems, software licences, system administration and software maintenance. That frees up internal resources to focus on more strategic activities. In addition, software-as-a-service delivers predictable costs, which is highly attractive when IT budgets are under pressure.
