Description

Comprehensive guide to SaaS (Software as a Service) history, principles, goals and objectives, technologies and providers, plus strategic, financial and legal considerations for successful adoption and implementation of enterprise SaaS IT solutions.

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is one of the fastest growing segments of the information technology (IT) industry because it provides a more cost-effective alternative for enterprises to achieve their business objectives than traditional packaged applications.

This book covers just about every aspect of SaaS, from high-level overviews of the different technologies that might be appropriate for upper management, to a very nice series of "hands on" chapters that walk you through experimenting with several of the SaaS options.

Whether you need a quick primer on SaaS so you can talk shop with those with more detailed knowledge, or want to get a sense of the benefits of the different technologies and how they fit into the big picture of the data center, this book is an invaluable resource. It gives you the vocabulary and understanding of how all the pieces fit together than websites and technical manuals often miss.

All of the major SaaS technologies are discussed, along with the various drivers for implementing SaaS, and how to manage migrating to a SaaS environment.

This book delivers precisely what CEOs, CIOs, IT managers, and technologists need to know.
