On-demand software, often referred to as Cloud or Software as a Service (SaaS), is rapidly gaining favor with decision-makers across all applications and verticals. Lower ownership costs, rapid time-to-benefit, easier scalability and other substantial advantages make the Cloud model highly attractive to organizations under pressure to do more with less.
