Right on.. we already have open source alternative to all the major SaaS out there and companies still opt for the SaaS option instead to avoid the headache of self-hosting and all the other stuff. The extra resources that AI affords you will be directed to building more features for your customers.
- democracy 8mo agoSo true - very often companies don't even look at free alternatives but go after a paid one right away. Now imagine writing software ))) What a mental idea
- monkeydust 8mo agoRight, look at MS Office..Apache Openoffice and Libre are credible OSS alternatives but they have hardly caused MS serious headaches.

- intrasight 8mo ago> open source alternative to all the major SaaS The question is "open source" vs "proprietary". Open source will become the majority of SaaS. But the industry needs to find the right business model. I think the model will look, to the enterprise clients, largely the same as today. There will still be usage costs (both per user and storage) and support costs. But there will not be "license costs". And there will be much less lock-in.
