Who uses Software as a Service?

Everyone! For example, most individuals have Webmail accounts with a major e-mail provider like Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail. Millions of individuals also have blogs hosted on sites like Blogger.com, Wordpress.com and more.

With SaaS applications, all software and data you add is stored remotely on the host’s servers, which can be accessed from any computer. SaaS has made it possible for individuals to check their email, update their blog and even collaborate with their organization from any computer with Internet access, worldwide.

What applications can be hosted?:

More professional and robust applications, such as collaboration tools like SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010 and hosted MOSS are sold as SaaS with a subscription-based fee. Exchange Hosting and CRM software like Microsoft Dynamics CRM are also popular since they make it easier to communicate for business.
