Is Software as a Service (SaaS) really cheaper?
(old news - 04:22PM Thursday Feb 26 2009)
Will Cloud Computing really be such a 'deal' ?


quote:

The benefits of software as a service (SaaS) may not be as clear cut as they seem, with the focus on the initial savings hiding issues that could reduce its advantage over packaged software in the longer term.

The main reason for this is that SaaS requires regular payments to the vendor by companies which use the software - as opposed to one-off payments for on-premise software.

SaaS is just Rent A Center for Software. You still overpay

with both.

They want the monthly/quartly/yearly revenue stream instead of the new income only when they have a new version.
