SaaS
SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a way of using software applications over the internet, like a subscription, instead of installing them on your own computer.
How it works
It works by having the software provider host and maintain the application on their servers, and users access it through a web browser. This matters because it eliminates the need for local installation and complex IT management, making powerful tools easily accessible and scalable for businesses and individuals.
Examples
- 1.Using Google Workspace (like Gmail and Docs) online instead of buying Microsoft Office
- 2.A company using Salesforce for customer relationship management without installing any software
- 3.A designer using Figma in their web browser to create prototypes collaboratively
