摘要
The emergence of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model has attracted great attentions from both researchers and practitioners. SaaS vendors deliver on-demand information processing services to users, and thus offer computing utility rather than the standalone software itself In this work, I propose an analytical model to study the competition between the SaaS and the traditional COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) solutions for software applications. I show that when software applications become open, modulated, and standardized, the SaaS business model will take a significant market share. In addition, under certain market conditions, offering users an easy exit option through the software contract will help to increase the SaaS vendors' competitive ability.
