SaaS gaining momentum in US
Here’s an post from ZDnet blog in US about the rise in profile and acceptance of SaaS. The post has links to the original article from a couple of McKinsey consultants. Here is one of key messages from the post:
Quoting McKinsey’s research last year that found a jump from 38% to 61% in the proportion of CIOs planning to use SaaS, the authors set out “why this trend seems bound to gain traction where an earlier generation of hosted software failed to do so a decade ago.” Several of their most compelling arguments come down to simple economics: they say that SaaS has less financial risk for buyers, is cheaper to use and yet just as profitable for vendors.
The SaaS is starting to gain some momentum at an enterprise level. This enables lots of opportunities for niche players to reach a wide world wide audience.
