I’m sure most of you have seen and heard about cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)…but what do these things really mean and why should you care?
Cloud Computing simply means computing outside of the walls of your organization. With high speed internet access to most businesses, faster computers and excess computing resources, now you can leverage these excess computing resources over the Internet. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a segment of Cloud Computing where you use Software over the Internet instead of having the software being hosted within the walls of your organization.

With SaaS you do not have to pay for the Hardware, Hardware Maintenance, Software Licenses, Application Support and Application Upgrades. Application support includes your internal Information Technology (IT) staffing to support the application. Some of you may begin wondering if you are becoming software companies when you manage these types of software applications on your site.
