Talk:Software as a service

However

I agree with you that SaaS is obviously connection dependant [sp. dependent] , and the inherent risks that lie within that fact. However, more and more companies are becoming very web-oriented. The jobs that are part of this web-oriented structure can easily be identified as: Those who get to go home for the day, because the ISP is down. And currently, there are a lot of those already.

Currently, ISP's do not provide companies with that ultra-high-speed pipe, but as SaaS increases in popularity, so will the understanding of ISP's to these companies.

I don't agree with you on your third point. With respect to WrappedApps.com 's solution, only the applications themselves are hosted on the SaaS providers' servers, not data. And if data must be stored remotely, then most certainly a compan's IT legal experts would not sign a contract with any 'held-hostage' data clauses. As well, if a company can't afford to pay the fees for their employees to use the software, then there are some serious problems with that company, as SaaS should be more economical than buying high-cost multi-user licenses.

Characterization of ASP is completely off

The History section compares SaaS with ASP, but all points about ASP (managing and hosting third-party software, installation of software on users' personal computers, and maintaining a separate instance of the application for each business) are pretty much completely wrong. And with that, the difference between ASP and SaaS just about goes away. The term ASP came into disrepute after the dot-com crash, but it's just about the same as SaaS. The Techtarget article quoted as the only source for this paragraph actually says as much, so not even the citation is correct.

I reported the plagiarism to the Swedish government (two of the authors of this book work for a Swedish university) Buidhe paid (talk) 22:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
