The Software as a Service (SaaS) business model is impacting the software industry and how your customers acquire business functionality and solutions. In this model, application functionality is delivered through a subscription model over the Internet. The customer does not take ownership of the software, but instead rents a total solution that is delivered remotely.

With the SaaS model, you can reduce up-front support costs because you no longer need to support multiple platforms and versions. This rapidly emerging delivery model can help you, as an ISV, enter new markets.

To help you become a successful player in this fast growing business opportunity and launch and run a future-oriented SaaS business in addition to your existing business model, IBM offers leading-edge hardware, software, and infrastructure technologies. The SaaS community and SaaS specialty provide valuable benefits, resources, technical enablement, and marketing support to grow your business.

Regardless of your state of adoption, IBM can help you enable, deliver, and market your SaaS solutions.
