Understanding Software as a Service (SaaS) -

The idea behind SaaS is that you dont purchase servers and application software and run them in-house. instead, you contract with a company with its own server farm, support staff, and software. your users then access those applications across the internet.

SaaS has the advantage of providing more robust software to small and medium-size businesses without forcing them to incur large investments in servers, staff, and application design and programming. instead of facing large upfront costs, businesses pay for access to the applications on a steady monthly basis... much like an electric or water bill.

Hope this helps in understanding exactly what (SaaS) is.
