Nowadays most of the software solutions are available in the SaaS model. You may come across the term SaaS when you are trying to purchase an online tool or service. In traditional method software companies distribute their software products as a standalone product which needs to be installed on the client’s computer. All the files and data are processed on the client computer.
The SaaS on other hand is a cloud-based service over the internet. It allows users to access the software/service using a web browser or a mobile app. The most common example of a SaaS business model is the email service(Gmail). When you check your email using your web browser, you are accessing the files from the cloud-based server which stores your email information.
