What is Software as a Service model?
Summary Of Work EffortPrior to embarking on this subject, I did not know a lot about SaaS. For the most part I thought it was mainly online spreadsheet, mail and documents and the odd photbucket program. I was surprised to find out that SaaS is much more than that and really emcompasses a wide variety of programs, which range from CRM applications to Financial Management systems which support companies every day. The SaaS providers are many and there are avenues available to link up requirements and providers due to the large demand. I would say for me the biggest part of this project was of course the research and learning about a subject which I knew very little about. I was for the most part done a few days ago, putting the final touches on the eve the paper is due. I truly did learn a lot about SaaS providers and am glad I chose the topic so I can be more of a participant in conversation when a discussion occurs. I would consider my paper: clear, articulate, thorough and shows a lot of effort put forth on a subject that was very much new to the writer. I would give myself a solid B+ or A.
