SaaS (Software as a Service) is a cloud computing delivery model where software applications are hosted by providers and made available to customers over the internet through subscription licensing. Users access applications via web browsers without installing software locally, whilst providers manage infrastructure, security updates, and maintenance, enabling businesses to deploy enterprise applications rapidly without capital investment in servers or software licenses.

For UK businesses, SaaS eliminates upfront costs and IT complexity associated with traditional software deployment, offering predictable operational expenses, automatic updates, and scalability that adjusts to business needs. Popular SaaS applications include Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and collaboration tools that enable remote working whilst ensuring data accessibility, security, and compliance with UK regulations through provider-managed infrastructure and regular security updates.
