Today, it is acknowledged that the Software-as-a-Service and the Cloud computing models are here to stay. The promise of lower TCO, predictability of revenues and reaching a larger pool of customers is hard to ignore. As per Gartner, 16% of all enterprises software applications will be delivered through SaaS model by 2014.However, the challenges faced by ISVs looking to introduce new products on a SaaS-based model are quite different from an ISV looking to SaaS-enable an existing product.
