Understanding SaaS (Software as a Service)
SaaS is the most user-friendly cloud service model. Think of it like renting software instead of buying it. You access the application over the internet, usually through a web browser, and the provider handles all the underlying infrastructure, including servers, operating systems, and security updates. Popular examples include Salesforce, Gmail, and Dropbox. You don’t need to worry about installing, configuring, or maintaining the software; you simply use it. This makes it incredibly accessible, especially for small businesses or individuals who lack the technical expertise or resources to manage their own IT infrastructure.
