The landscape of software is changing...have you got a map?
The way software is used has been changing for some while. Applications running on hosted servers, outside the company network are becoming more common. This is termed Software as a Service, or SaaS. Taking this one set further is a hosted platform that allows you to create applications and integrate existing applications with hosted SaaS applications. This 'Platform as a Service' has enormous benefits for small business and large enterprise alike.
