Saas consulting is different from the traditional delivery methods. SaaS consulting (SaaS environment or SaaS) refers to software that is accessed via a web browser, typically on a subscription basis.
Most software companies are stuck utilizing the standard delivery mechanisms (i.e. shrink wrapped, perpetual licensed, etc.) While Saas, software as a service provides an instant revenue jump, the software company is losing out on many opportunities or market segments that cannot afford the application, or are unable to implement the application. Adding SaaS to your product delivery option opens up opportunities that were otherwise unavailable. SaaS has lower startup and fixed monthly costs for the end user. In addition, Saas is completely scalable to fit changing business needs (eg. a growing business can easily add new users) without the need for increasing existing infrastructure.
