In an earlier post we had mentioned SaaS. It is mode of service delivery in cloud computing. Here we write about a company ScanSafe which is regarded as the first company to use SaaS business model to offer service and products. ScanSafe provides a wide range of companies, including small businesses and global enterprises with Software-as-a-Service, a model of software deployment where applications are licensed to customers for use as a service on demand. SaaS vendors may host applications on their own servers or download the application to consumer devices. To more about SaaS and how ScanSafe is harnessing it as a business service model see here. Recently Cisco, the networking leader has acquired ScanSafe.
