We’re dedicated to building a diverse team in every sense of the word. While we're not there yet, here’s how we’re doing so far. Software as a service is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. SaaS is also known as "on-demand software" and Web-based/Web-hosted software.
SaaS is considered to be part of cloud computing, along with infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, desktop as a service, managed software as a service, mobile backend as a service, datacenter as a service, integration platform as a service, and information technology management as a service.
SaaS apps are typically accessed by users using a thin client, e.g. via a web browser. SaaS became a common delivery model for many business applications, including office software, messaging software, payroll processing software, DBMS software, management software, CAD software, development software, gamification, virtualization, accounting, collaboration, customer relationship management, management information systems, enterprise resource planning, invoicing, field service management, human resource management, talent acquisition, learning management systems, content management, geographic information systems, and service desk management.
For example, with software as a service products, you can deploy software hosted on AWS infrastructure and grant buyers access to the software in your AWS environment. You can be responsible for managing customer access, account creation, resource provisioning, and account management in your software.
SaaS has been incorporated into the strategy of nearly all enterprise software companies.
