« Pervasive Software Highlights SaaS | Main | SAP's 'A1S' suite will deliver enterprise functions such as HR and financials as a service »

New data out of Saugatuck Research finds Software as a Service (SaaS) is gaining traction in today's enterprises. As reported in Network World, more than a quarter of companies are using at least one SaaS application, up from 11% at the beginning of 2006, the consultancy reports. Saugatuck goes on to predict that SaaS adoption will grow to 47% by the end of this year, and by 2010 it will reach at least 65% worldwide.

If Saugatuck is right, that means that SaaS adoption will double over the next few months, from 25% to 47%. This truly makes 2007 the year of SaaS.

The consultancy goes on to observe that integration with in-house software will likely require SOA, the report states. aSaaS is going to complicate and hybridize user IT and business operational environments faster, and to a greater degree, than most user and vendor executives understand at this point,a Saugatuck writes. aThe vast majority of user IT departments will simply not have the resources to handle the influx of enterprise-level SaaSa expected to occur over the next seven years.
