It\u2019s essentially what it sounds like: The service provider hosts and manages the application and all its associated infrastructure, and clients access the software on demand via the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Some sub-categories of SaaS include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/unified-communications.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS)<\/a> or cloud phone systems<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/contact-center-as-a-service.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS)<\/a> or cloud contact center solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Leveraging SaaS comes with the following notable advantages for businesses, according to IBM:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transferring all app and infrastructure management tasks to a third-party provider<\/li>\n<li>Accessibility and productivity from anywhere<\/li>\n<li>Increased scalability<\/li>\n<li>Low financial risk due to commonly offered free trial periods or low initial pricing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SaaS also has potential drawbacks, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchcloudcomputing\/definition\/Software-as-a-Service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">TechTarget<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loss of control due to outsourcing management to an external provider<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty switching suppliers<\/li>\n<li>Less control over security and compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What\u2019s the difference between SaaS and cloud computing?<\/h2>\n<p>To summarize, SaaS is a category of cloud computing services, according to Microsoft.
