Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model where applications are hosted by a service provider and made available to users over the Internet. In this model, software and its associated data are centrally hosted and accessed using a web browser. SaaS is known for its convenience and cost-effectiveness, as it eliminates the need for users to install, manage, and maintain the software locally. It is heavily related to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).
