A company is looking to adopt a cloud service that allows its employees to use a suite of productivity applications without the need to install or maintain any onsite software or hardware. The employees should be able to access these applications using a web browser from any location. Which cloud service model should the company consider?
The company should consider adopting Platform as a Service (PaaS) to meet these needs.
The company should deploy an on-premises hardware solution to meet this need.
The company should consider utilizing Software as a Service (SaaS) for this requirement.
The company should consider using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for this purpose.
The correct answer is Software as a Service (SaaS). This model provides access to applications over the internet, eliminating the need for local installation or maintenance, which matches the scenario's requirements. The incorrect answers refer to other cloud models: Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivers a platform for application development, which is not what the end-users in the scenario need. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized hardware resources, which is more infrastructure-focused and does not directly offer ready-to-use software applications. An on-premises solution is the opposite of a cloud model and would require the company to manage its own hardware and software.
