Perspective Summary:

A debate has been simmering around the issue of multi-tenancy and whether on-demand solutions that do not use it are truly Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or, instead, a reversion to the ASP hosting model.

Recently issues surrounding multi-tenancy resurfaced at the SIIA OnDemand Europe conference in Amsterdam during a Saugatuck-led panel – and in a variety of blog entries post the event. Proponents for multi-tenancy cite its advantages, primarily focusing on cost efficiencies, e.g., in economies of scale, software licensing, and managing upgrades, integration and customization. For ISVs considering the migration path to SaaS, the time and cost of writing (or rewriting) solutions to a multi-tenant model is a barrier to entry that many would prefer to circumvent.
