Summary

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) adoption is rapidly going mainstream across more and more markets in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). But there's still a disconnect between business decision-makers' demand for SaaS solutions and IT's interest in maintaining control of technology assets. Eliminating this disconnect is essential, particularly as SaaS usage expands within organizations and increasingly crosses business process and functional boundaries. This report analyzes expected APJ SaaS adoption trends over the next 18 to 24 months and the impact these trends will have on broader application portfolio management and SaaS-related IT sourcing strategies. Along with other key IT roles, including sourcing and vendor management professionals and enterprise architects, application development and delivery (AD&D) professionals must actively engage business decision-makers to minimize uncontrolled SaaS purchases and help ensure that SaaS investments deliver positive business value.
