Software-as-a-Service(SaaS)를 위한 공간임

미리 할당해 놓고 채워가는 나의 습관을 다시 한번 발휘하기위한 여백

어감이 영 좋지 않은 용어임, 그래서 고칠 수 있으면 고쳐야할 것임.

가. SaaS business models will be widely adopted and preferred by customers in future.

나. Here are 5 things you want to adopt if you want to be a SaaS provider:

1. Initial activation cost as low as possible (better if it is free) to gain adoption
   
2. The customer must be able to make use of the functionality (out of the box) right from the get go
   
3. There must be incremental value-add (updates, patches, validated integrations) on an ongoing basis that are delivered seamlessly to customers and can be charged (like in free printers vs. paid cartridges)
   
4. The incremental value-add must be thoroughly tested and should not break backward compatibility. Think of whether you will get antivirus updates if it breaks your existing applications
   
5. The customer must be able to stop the subscription and still be operational (no vendor lock-in)

다. IDC 자료

Worldwide spending on (SaaS) reached $4.2 billion in 2004, an increase of 39% over 2003. Worldwide spending on SaaS will continue to increase over the next five years at a 21% compound annual growth rate, reaching $10.7 billion in 2009.

라. SaaS의 분류예

1. SaaS comes in two basic flavors. "Net-native" or "Web-native" companies develop their own applications and design them to be run via the Web for a multitude of clients. Other companies don't develop their own programs, but simply take over the management of applications that customers have already licensed from traditional vendors.
