SaaS

Or Software as a Service, is more of a software delivery service for web based applications that was initially un-favored by vendors and developers alike due to the many security issues. The advantages are that the system is maintained at either a host (third party provider which hosts or runs the software on their server) or at the provider�s won servers which greatly makes support a breeze. Imagine being able to repair, deploy enhancements on a software that is deployed to thousands upon thousands of users without having to send out upgrades to the said users. Or having to get each and everyone to log in and get the updated software which is not always possible. The developer or software owner simply has to change the software stored on the servers where the application (program) resides in and everybody who logs in to use it instantly gets the updated version of the software. Little downtime, fast deployment of the whole system is the key and sweetest point which has been improved on by developers and software manufacturers like Oracle giving us better more reliable systems.
