What is the Elastic Cloud Computing?
A SaaS (Software as a Service) company builds, provides, and develops a software product, making it available to its customers online. Their model doesn’t usually involve customers outright buying their software and instead relies on subscription fees over months or years. Ideally, this model helps to alleviate the maintenance, building, updating, upgrading, and security measures needed from the customers’ side and is provided by the software developer. Additionally, customers don’t need to install the software and can run the program through a browser. Many household names are now SaaS companies that many people already use and are familiar with.
