Report Overview:
In
the span of less than a year, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has gone
from point-solution curiosity to mission-critical applications for
user enterprises. And
according to research published this month by Saugatuck Technology,
the next wave of SaaS is already being absorbed and adopted by user
enterprises as platforms for multiple, critical business
applications and processes.
This Research Report provides a comprehensive look at the
state of the SaaS industry and user adoption. The
report is based in part on a new worldwide web survey of 250 senior
business and IT executives, 30+ briefings with leading SaaS
providers and 15 deep dive interviews with early adopter SaaS users.
Among other things, the report provides an update to our SaaS
adoption scenario, and fine-tunes our SaaS 2.0 vision in areas such
as pricing and licensing, ecosystems and verticalization.
“SaaS is beyond the tipping
point and accelerating into mainstream adoption,” states Saugatuck
VP Mark Koenig, head of the SaaS research program and co-lead author
of the new report. “We’re seeing breakthrough levels of SaaS
acceptance for mission-critical computing, from SMBs to the largest
enterprises worldwide. SaaS is not a curiosity – it’s
mission-critical.”
“The second wave of SaaS as a
next-generation business platform is already here, and already
delivering powerful business advantages for user enterprises,“
adds Saugatuck VP Mike West, co-lead author of the report. “Users
are already utilizing SaaS for transaction and collaboration
marketplaces, and we’re starting to see a proliferation of SaaS
ecosystems that offer portfolios of synergistic and integrated SaaS
applications with business services.”

Summary:
Read
this report to learn:
 |
How
SaaS is already shifting from inexpensive point-solution
offerings to mission-critical, integrative, and sophisticated
business application and process delivery platforms – and
what effects this will have on user and strategies for
business and technology. |
 |
Which
customer segments, geographies and applications are growing
the fastest, and where are the biggest opportunities going
forward |
 |
How
-- and why -- SaaS is moving through three “waves” of
development, deployment and adoption, and how users and
vendors need to manage these to deliver and utilize SaaS to
its greatest efficiencies and effectiveness. |
 |
Why
the increasing presence of “cloud-based” SaaS business
solutions that must be integrated with on-premise applications
will require SaaS Integration Platform (SIPs), ESBs and X-ESBs
to form coherent and flexible IT portfolios of Integrated
Business Solutions. |
 |
Why,
how, and when SaaS will become interwoven in the fabric of
IT/business application portfolios, as companies create value
at the business process layer through “Integrated Business
Solutions. |
 |
How
will SaaS application and infrastructure architecture evolve
to support hybrid environments |
Research Highlights:
 |
SaaS is already expanding its reach into a
variety of business services as traditional BPO providers
struggle to rationalize their one-to-one outsourcing models,
reduce costs and bring greater process efficiency to their
clients |
 |
Reducing and managing software costs remain
important attractions for SaaS, but users have shifted their
key SaaS decision criteria to Service Levels, Integration with
Data and Workflow, and intra- and inter-company collaboration
|
 |
Hybrid application architectures are emerging
– SaaS is increasingly linked to on-premise data,
applications and processes through Web Services-based
Integration APIs.
|
 |
SOA, Open Source, Collaboration, Mobility,
Mash-ups and Web 2.0 are converging on SaaS platforms,
providing rich, configurable applications and business value
|
 |
While a few technology “master brands”
with established distribution channels will also thrive in
SaaS markets (e.g., Salesforce, IBM, Microsoft), the real
long-term winners will be dominant business brands (e.g.,
telcos, banks, or master brands such as FedEx) that partner
with leading SIP providers. |
 |
The next two years will see exploding growth
for ad-supported SaaS initiatives targeting consumers (i.e.,
business services and productivity tools) and vertical-market
small business niches (e.g., health care patient records).
