Your organization previously installed a licensed word-processing application on every laptop. To reduce costs, management now requires employees to create and edit documents exclusively in an online word processor (such as Google Docs) that runs entirely in a web browser and is maintained by its provider. Which cloud service model does this approach exemplify?
Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully functional applications over the Internet. Users launch the application in a browser, and the provider hosts, secures, patches, and updates the software; nothing is installed locally. Online word-processing suites are classic SaaS examples. IaaS supplies only virtualized infrastructure, PaaS gives developers a hosted platform, and XaaS is a broad umbrella term rather than a specific model.
