What is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Application
Development?

  Application Development is. SaaS application is a
  platform to deliver software over IaaS
  (Internet-as-a-Service).
• In Traditional application platforms, users have
  to run the setup process for installing the
  application on their systems, which requires
  extensive time resources.
• SaaS application platform overcomes the
  challenges of installing software by allowing the
  user to access it through IaaS, eliminating the
  installation hardware aspects.
• SaaS applications run on the servers of
  developers or application service providers. It
  manages the entire application for you. The best
  part about the SaaS application platform is that
  it is offered on a subscription basis, offering
  users to pay only for the software usage for the
  desired duration.

  cost-effective platforms for users. And because

  used worldwide by developers and organizations.
