saas

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'SaaS' stands for 'Software as a Service.' It means instead of buying software (like a video game) and installing it on your computer, you pay a regular fee to use it over the internet.

Examples in Different Contexts

In business software, 'SaaS' applications provide companies with access to software tools via subscription, eliminating the need for in-house installations. A business owner might explain, 'Using SaaS for our accounting and customer management systems simplifies updates and support.'
