Summary
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) has already revolutionized the software world, and now companies outside of the software industry are transforming business models by becoming SaaS providers too.

Leading car manufacturers provide SaaS to collaborate with dealers; healthcare providers deliver SaaS for hospitals and patients; and government entities are creating SaaS solutions to engage with constituents. Why?

But, the move to become a SaaS provider creates new demands on application development and delivery professionals who will be responsible for building and delivering external-facing solutions in this new paradigm. This report will help application development and delivery professionals understand why companies outside of the software industry are becoming SaaS providers. This report will also outline key approaches application development and delivery professionals can take to become a SaaS provider.
