Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model where applications are not installed locally but are delivered and accessed over the internet. The software runs in a provider’s data centers and is typically accessed via a web browser or an app. Well-known examples include solutions like Microsoft 365 or Salesforce.
With SaaS, the provider operates the entire infrastructure – from servers and storage to networks and the application itself. Users access the software remotely, while updates, maintenance, and security are managed centrally. This significantly relieves internal IT departments and ensures systems are always up-to-date.
