Madurai Software Business: Future Online Software Business: Software as a service

I think the future of software is all going to be ONLINE. In other words it is called SaaS - Software as a Service.

The traditional software is always deployed in the company infrastructure and the software is used by the users in the company. These days it seems to behosted and used as a service. That is going to be the future as well.

Companies like salesforce.com started off their business like that only. Even traditional software businesses started in past, have an online version of the software available for them.

For example, accounting software companies like intuit - quickbooks have an online version of their software. NetSuite.com etc., has followed the same.

If you want to know about - Software as a service. Please read more in the last paragraph.

The reason I am explaining about SaaS. Because it is the current style, happenning and future of software business in the world, india and madurai. Also, I happenned to hear about a new company in Madurai, which had started a Software as a service business in madurai.

aveoinfotech.com. The software this company has come up with is - daybook.in. This software is hosted and it is in BETA stage of software development life cycle in madurai.

I congratulate this entrepreneur for starting this service and also appreciate for it. All the best for his venture. Why is Madurai Machan happy about it?? I am glad for the fact that this company is started in Madurai.:)

About SaaS - Software as a service

Software as a service (SaaS) is a software application delivery model where a software vendor develops a web-native software application and hosts and operates (either independently or through a third-party) the application for use by its customers over the Internet.

Customers do not pay for owning the software itself but rather for using it. They use it through an API accessible over the Web and often written using Web Services or REST. The term SaaS has become the industry preferred term, generally replacing the earlier terms Application Service Provider (ASP) and On-Demand.
