An SIIA White Paper detailing the strategic need for, and value of, delivering software as a service.
Software as a Service (SaaS), commonly referred to as the Application Service Provider (ASP) model, is
heralded by many as the new wave in application software distribution. Following the maxim that the
Internet changes everything, many believe that traditional packaged desktop and enterprise applications will
soon be swept away by the tide of Web-based, outsourced products and services that remove the responsibility for installation, maintenance and upgrades from over-burdened MIS staff. Some analysts and industry members believe that packaged software, as a separate entity will cease to exist. While such drastic predictions have not yet happened, due to technical and business issues, the spirit of this change the
delivery, management and payment of software as a service rather than a product is affecting all participants
in the software industry.
