Basic Definitions • Cloud Computing • Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like a public utility. • Saas: • Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced 'sass') is a model of software deployment over the internet
Why is SAAS lucrative Low cost of entry No hidden costs Onus on the vendor to deliver a good and secure product Less risky investment
Current Concerns of using SAAS Online connectivity Data security Uptime of data and availability Uncertain payment methods
What does it mean to live in a SAAS dominated world • Reduces cost of software • Create a more generalized software that caters to most of the needs of an average user. Charge premium rates for additional features • Eradicate issues related to software up gradation • By regularly releasing new versions of the software it becomes difficult for users to keep up to date with the latest versions. • One central repository of all data and reduction of redundancy • Keep one repository of data which can be accessed from multiple devices.
What does it mean to live in a SAAS dominated world • Processing speed on demand • Two industries that need high computational speed to take their business to the next levels • Healthcare • Finance • One license per user • This allows the user to use the software service anywhere and not restricted to any hardware
What does it mean to live in a SAAS dominated world • Reduction in piracy • As all content is on the internet as can be accessed only via login, and content not being downloadable it makes it difficult for piracy
What would it take to make this dream a reality?? Faster rates of data connectivity Reliable connectivity Need for new protocols
Do we need SAAS • User/ Customers view • Reduction of costs a great news • Flexibility of using services • Vendor/Providers view • Reduce piracy • Generate processing power and take industries to the next level
