Software as a service is when computer applications are accessed over the internet, without the need to install them locally on the computer. Therefore the only necessity to make use of SAAS is a computer with an internet connection that is reasonably fast. This has many benefits that will be discussed below:
1. Multiple users can work on the document at the same time. This means that two or more people could simultaneously work on a spreadsheet, document or presentation. This allows people from a distance to work together.
2. Data is always saved and kept in the cloud. Since the save files are kept in the cloud and is being constantly updated and saved. Any power outages would not lead to loss of data.
3. More security. Keeping data locally can be vulnerable to theft and other security risks. But when using SAAS the data saved will be on a secure location of the cloud service vendor.
4. Moreover SAAS is also dynamically scalable, this means that consumers and business will be using the software only to the extent they need it. But when they buy software to be installed locally on the office computers, there may be a waste of resources in the sense features that aren't being used.
5. Finally SAAS is device independent. This means that these online applications can be used from any computer, whether they are a PC, Laptop, Tablet or Smartphone doesn't matter. As long as there is an internet connection and a web browser SAAS can be used.
