Though SAAS apps continue to make a big splash across the board, I still think companies should look into hybrid models -- vendors who offer both SAAS and on-premise apps. This model is particularly useful for companies who are using applications, such as compensation/sales performance management solutions where 1000+ sales people are being affected. How do you make the transition from on-premise to on-demand without a significant disruption in revenue? Hybrid just seems like the way to go...
