Definition

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud-based service where applications are hosted and made available to users over the internet. Users can access these applications via a web browser without needing to install or maintain the software on their local devices. SaaS solutions are typically subscription-based and managed by third-party providers, offering scalability, automatic updates, and reduced infrastructure costs.
