No "software applications made available in a browser" is not the single defining characteristic of SaaS. SaaS is foremost a licensing and delivery model although it is often accessed via a browser it is not a prerequisite. There are SasS offerings with desktop integration points, sync clients, native iOS apps etc.
- mcny 9y agoSorry if this is an obvious question: would you call Microsoft Office 365 a software as a service? They charge per user per month I think.
- bogomipz 9y agoYes I would consider Microsoft Office 365 a SaaS offering. It's licensing is done via a subscription and delivery is via infrastructure managed by MS.
