What is SaaS?

SaaS or "Software as a Service" refers to a software distribution model that uses the cloud.

Here, a third-party provider hosts applications and makes them available to customers via the Internet, enabling them to access the software via a web browser or application. Customers pay for this service on a subscription basis, rather than purchasing and installing the software on their own servers or devices.

SaaS offers many advantages:

• Costs are reduced,
• Scalability is easy,
• Software updates are automatic, or evolutionary, since an update implies action on the part of the user, which is not the case,
• Accessibility is improved.

This method has become increasingly popular in recent years.
