Abstract

Software as a Service is a method of licensing and delivering software on-demand based on a centralized hosting solution which absolves the client of the hardware costs that come with high-end client-server server hosted solutions, the maintenance and hot-spare availability of that hardware and the continuous renewal costs. While small-medium businesses (SMBs) fit well in the client perspective of SaaS, the provider perspective is not easily available due to high hardware and development costs of SaaS. This paper provides an overview of how SMBs can become SaaS providers easier, with the help of IaaS and software templates.
