Software as a Service (SaaS) is an example of a cloud-based service. It uses the web to deliver applications that are managed by a third party vendor over the cloud. According to Scott, Cullen, and An (2015), the SaaS offers many potential advantages to its users compared to the traditional software services. SaaS is cost-effective since it has low upfront cost since it has no upfront license hence lowering the upfront cost. SaaS also provides a quick set up and deployment since it’s already configured in the cloud. It is also easy to access and provides scalability to its users in the sense that it offers many subscription options.
