Compared with the traditional way of service SaaS what are the unique features

SaaS not only reduces or eliminates traditional software licensing fees, but vendors deploy application software on unified servers, eliminating end-user expenditures for server hardware, network security equipment, and software upgrades and maintenance. Customers can obtain the software and services they need over the Internet with no IT investment other than a personal computer and Internet connection. In addition, a large number of new technologies, such as Web Services, provide a simpler, more flexible, and more practical SaaS.

In addition, SaaS vendors usually charge according to the software modules that the customer rents, so users can order software application services on demand according to their needs, and SaaS vendors will be responsible for the system's deployment, upgrade, and maintenance. Traditional management software, on the other hand, usually requires buyers to pay a sizable one-time fee to officially launch.

SaaS is poised for significant growth, with the latest survey results from Think Strategy Research showing that one-third of the population intends to use SaaS in 2006, and with so much acceptance, SaaS has become a major force in the software industry. As long as the quality and credibility of SaaS continues to be proven, its appeal will not fade.

SaaS is not just for small and medium-sized businesses; businesses of all sizes profit from SaaS. The new generation of SaaS enables users to test the reliability and suitability of applications in small implementations.

SaaS is not just for CRM, but is slowly being used to handle almost every management software need.
