Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model where a cloud service provider hosts, manages, and delivers fully functional end-user applications over the internet. Users typically access the application through a web browser or lightweight client interface, paying for usage via a subscription-based model.
SaaS delivers a complete, turn-key application experience.
