By Dick Weisinger

The use of SaaS is increasing.  21 percent of enterprises say they currently use SaaS or are in the middle of a SaaS pilot. Another 26 percent say that they are considering the use of SaaS within a year.  Those are the results of a survey by Forrester Research.

* Archiving and eDiscovery

* Collaboration
* CRM
* Digital asset management
* Enterprise content management
* Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
* Human resources
* Integration
* IT management
