In the SaaS model the seller of the software provides a version of it on an Internet server. To this application customers can accede by a Web site, paid for use by project or for subscription.
The SaaS model offers to customers a formula of low cost, eliminating the need to invest large sums of money in the purchase of software licenses. It also eliminates the costs and risks of installing, giving support and maintenance of hardware in the computers of your office. In addition, users access and the performance of the applications are excellent with the web-based systems, without limits of time, 24 hours a day.
The software as a service (SaaS) proves to have a great potential. This way, a small enterprise located in a place of little development, can have now immediate access to an easier international market, and to a low cost. Many SMEs of Latin America were unable to automate their sales forces due to the cost of the licences of software and hardware needed. Now, thanks to this service, is already possible.
