"SaaS" stands for "Software as a Service". It is an information technology model in which software applications are provided via the internet. Unlike the traditional method of purchasing, downloading and installing software on individual computers or servers, in the SaaS model the software is hosted on central servers and made available to users via the internet.

Well-known examples of SaaS applications include Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Dropbox and many others. SaaS enables companies and individuals to access powerful software without the cost and complexity of deploying and maintaining their own infrastructure.
