Scott Koegler
A move toward SaaS (software as a service) platforms makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons. The economics of using someone else's computers and applications in a shared environment, with all the advantages of private access and none of the pain associated with having to manage all the parts and pieces, are undeniable.
