SaaS is a delivery model in which software is centrally hosted (in the cloud) and delivered over the Internet via a web browser. The benefits of SaaS over locally hosted, or Self-Hosted solutions can be broken down into many topics, however the two main benefits are that
You do not have to purchase expensive hardware.
Services are purchased on a subscription basis rather than an up-front licensing cost, often referred to as a perpetual license model where on-going maintenance fees can add up over the years. SaaS allows vendors to deliver a single solution with a singular point of support and management.
