What is SAAS?
Software as a service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet—as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management.
Why SAAS?
SaaS can provide notable savings for several different reasons. Foremost, it eliminates the upfront cost of purchase / installation, as well on-going costs like maintenance and upgrades. Instead of spending large amounts of money on hardware installations, SaaS applications can be easily downloaded and maintained

Apart from functionality check for SAAS product, we have to evaluate the SAAS product technical, security and availability. I have created a checklist for evaluation. You can download the checklist at SAAS Evaluation Criteria.
