SaaS seems like a trap.
Step 1) Offer artificially cheap software to replace employees.
Step 2) Attracted by low prices and productivity, employers adopt software.
Step 3) Software works. Employers lay off employees.
Step 4) SaaS vendor needs to make profit, raises prices significantly.
Step 5) Software is no longer cost-effective to employer, but employer doesn't have employees to fall back on.
