Software as a service, or 'SaaS', is a software application delivery model by which an enterprise vendor develops a web-based software application, and then hosts and operates that application over the Internet for use by its customers. Customers do not need to buy software licenses or additional infrastructure equipment, and typically only pay monthly fees for using the software. SaaS applications provide customers with centralized, network-based access to data with much less overhead as compared to using a locally-installed application.
