Detailed explanation-1: -Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring, and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365). SaaS provides a complete software solution that you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gmail, Slack, and Microsoft Office 365 are all commonly used SaaS products. Client relationship management systems, or CRMs, are also SaaS-based, as are many customer service and support solutions.
Detailed explanation-3: -SaaS (sometimes called cloud application services) is cloud-hosted, ready-to-use application software. Users pay a monthly or annual fee to use a complete application from within a web browser, desktop client or mobile app.
Detailed explanation-4: -The resulting program – the Statistical Analysis System – gave SAS both the basis for its name and its corporate beginnings. Since then, SAS has grown to become one of the largest privately held software companies in the world.
