whitepaper The Greening of SaaS2009-09-01 MessageLabs, now part of Symantec
  Are your energy costs going up? Are unbudgeted software and hardware costs hurting your bottom line? Consider switching to Software as a Service (SaaS), and replace unexpected outlays with fixed, predictable expenses. SaaS reduces or eliminates costs related to installing, deploying and supporting standalone software. It can also free you from local server and infrastructure support. With SaaS, you'll green up your IT environment by reducing local energy and resource consumption, and offload the responsibility for proper equipment disposal from your organization to the SaaS provider. This white paper details the benefits of SaaS and how it can boost your green IT quotient.

whitepaper CRM Media - Best Practices: Software-as-a-Service2008-12-17 Oracle
  As companies get used to outsourcing at least some of their IT infrastructure to SaaS vendors, the number of SaaS offerings will expand even further. Even vendors of traditional on-premises software are introducing their own SaaS offerings for smaller market segments—and, not incidentally, as a pathway to their more-robust on-premises solutions. Tough economic times may encourage low-risk alternatives to large investments—in fact, if industry forecasts can be believed, by 2012 nearly 30 percent of business software will be deployed and delivered via the SaaS model. Even so, not all vendors will find the traction to survive what may be a long wait for better financial circumstances.
