"Companies using SaaS for supply chain report that they
typically can get the system operational in under 3 months and achieve ROI in
less than a year -- many times faster than with ordinary 'license and install'
software or homegrown projects."
"The SaaS model is much cheaper for a service company to
run, support and maintain so that it can ultimately sell its applications at a
fraction of the cost of the ASP model."

Software as a Service
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally and accessed by users via a web browser over the Internet. Because SaaS solutions are priced using a subscription model, costs are better aligned with the value the solutions deliver. Furthermore, they alleviate the bottlenecks found in many IT organizations that can hinder a new software project.
SaaS technology providers typically offer packaged implementation programs to quickly configure and deploy the solution resulting in a fast time to productivity.
Additional benefits to customers also include dramatic reduction in infrastructure investments, reduced burden on IT resources, and a predictable monthly cost for enterprise software. SaaS applications are typically hosted in hardened data centers which provide additional security, environmental and disaster recovery benefits.
