Cloud Navigate

According to Forrester Research, worldwide Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue is forecast to grow consistently from $21.2 billion in 2011 to $92.8 billion in 2016. This means that if you are not offering your software as a service, your competition soon will be.

As a traditional software company, migrating your existing application and revenue model to SaaS can be complex and, without best practices, can be costly or even detrimental to your business. Nearly every aspect of operating a SaaS model is different from that of a traditional software business.

How do you decide if SaaS is right for your company?

And if it is, how do you build a roadmap to help you get there successfully?
