SaaS

SaaS (Software as a Service) is a model of delivering software over the internet: instead of installing and maintaining it locally, users simply access it through a browser or app.

How it works

It is typically subscription-based, with the provider handling all backend maintenance, updates, and security. This model lets businesses and individuals get the software capabilities they need at lower cost and with greater flexibility.

Examples

  • 1.Businesses use online collaboration platforms like DingTalk or Feishu for their daily work
  • 2.Individuals design posters directly in Canva's online design tool, with no software to download
  • 3.Companies subscribe to Salesforce's CRM (customer relationship management) system to manage their sales processes
