Software as a Service (SaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS), also referred to as "software on demand," is software that is deployed over the internet. With SaaS, Nemesys licenses software to its customers on a monthly subscription basis. This approach to application delivery is part of the pervasive computing model where all of the technology is in the "cloud" accessed over the Internet as a service.
