Software as a Service(SaaS)
サービスとしてのソフトウエア（SaaS） 

 The maturing of the internet has enabled a new business model for the software industry: Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS refers to the practice of deploying software over the Web, rather than through an on-premises server installation.  Salesforce.com is one of the most well known examples of a software business that is run completely on a SaaS basis. インターネットを成熟させることがソフトウェア産業のための新しいビジネスモデルを可能にしています：「サービスとしてのソフトウエア」、あるいは SaaSは、社内サーバー据え付けを通してよりむしろウェブ上にソフトウェアを実装することについての手法を言及します。Salesforce.com は、完全に SaaSベースで走らせられるソフトウェアビジネスの最もよく知られている例の１つです。 

 There are many potential business benefits to SaaS, most oriented around reducing the time and expense of running common business applications.  Software updates can be disseminated instantly through SaaS, versus a slow and often costly deployment for on-premises software. In pure financial terms, it may be more attractive to pay a yearly per-user rental fee for a SaaS product than to make the large investment in server licenses and the associated overhead of maintaining the software on-premises.
