SaaS: Who's Not Doing On-Demand?

By Dick Weisinger

Nine out of every ten companies say that they plan to grow their use of SaaS in the upcoming year. And 37% of companies have plans to replace their in-house hosted applications with SaaS. Cost and ease of deployment are the two main benefits behind what’s driving the switch to on-demand. Those are the findings of a new Gartner report about SaaS.

Sharon Mertz of Gartner commented that “Use of SaaS has been evolving during the past decade and the SaaS model has become increasingly popular over the past three or four years.”

But while adoption of SaaS is up, governance of SaaS applications within the enterprise is not high on people’s lists. 38% of enterprises have factored SaaS into their governance policies, but the need to do that has not registered with most other companies. 26 percent have no plans to address governance at all.
