Once dismissed as a passing fad, Software as a Service (SaaS) is a growing force in the industry. Organizations are embracing it as a way of gaining access to next-generation software without incurring high up-front costs. But despite its increasing popularity, many decision-makers are unsure about its long-term viability and ROI.
View this on-demand ZDNet Webcast in which Ron Schmelzer, Senior Analyst at ZapThink, discusses the trend toward SaaS. Jeff Nolan, former venture capitalist at SAP Ventures, also offers valuable insight about SaaS buyers and vendors.
