Software as a Service

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud-based model where software applications are hosted on the internet, allowing users to access them from any device with an internet connection. Instead of buying and installing programs on individual computers, users subscribe to services, paying a monthly or annual fee. This model offers advantages like automatic updates, scalability, and reduced IT costs, as maintenance is handled by the service provider. Popular examples of SaaS include Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Salesforce, which help individuals and businesses perform tasks without needing extensive hardware or software infrastructure.
