What is SaaS?

Software-as-a-Service means that companies don’t have to install the software they need on physical hard drives. Instead, it’s a way of delivering software via the cloud.

It’s used commonly for many software applications, such as data backup, virtual desktops, and messaging services.

In this course, we’ll look at what SaaS is. We’ll explore how this type of software is delivered and who provides them. As well as this, we’ll learn about how providers normally charge for this service.

The course finishes with some knowledge-check questions, to help you reflect on what you’ve learned.
