SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS)

 

Centralized hosting of business application dates back to the 1960s. Starting at that decade, IBM and other mainframe providers conducted a service bureau business, often referred to as time-sharing or utility computing. Such services included offering computing power and database storage to banks and other large organizations from their worldwide data centers.

The expansion of the Internet during the 1990s brought about a new class of centralized computing, called Application Service Providers (ASP). Application service providers provided businesses with the service of hosting and managing specialized business applications, with the goal of reducing cost by central administration and through the solution provider's specialization in a particular business application.

Software as a service is essentially an extension of the idea of the ASP model. The term Software as a Service (SaaS), however, is commonly used in more specific settings:

whereas most initial application service providers focused on managing and hosting third-party independent software vendors' software, contemporary software-as-a-service vendors typically develop and manage their own software; whereas many initial application service providers offered more traditional client-server applications, which require installation of software on users' personal computers, contemporary software as a service solutions are predominantly web-based and only require an internet browser to use; and, whereas the software architecture used by most initial application service providers mandated maintaining a separate instance of the application for each business, contemporary software as a service solutions normally utilize a multi-tenant architecture, in which the application is designed to serve multiple businesses and users, and partitions its data accordingly.

The concept of SaaS has been popularized by Salesforce.com, which coined the term "The End of Software" to differentiate its (then new) software-as-a-service approach from its competition, which at the time offered only traditional on-premises software.

The SAAS acronym is said to have first appeared in an article called "Strategic Backgrounder: Software As A Service", internally published in February 2001 by the Software & Information Industry's (SIIA) eBusiness Division.[7]

The popular camelback version of SaaS was coined at an SD Forum conference by John Koenig in March 2005 and is considered the tipping point of the industry adoption of the term "SaaS", including the point of departure by Salesforce.com, which for many years had used the "On Demand" tag
