SaaS - A Verizon hot trend for 2009

This time it is Verizon endorsing SaaS as a hot topic for 2009.

Getting SaaSy

The network becomes king once again in 2009, making it the perfect platform for software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery. Serving content, applications and security in a centralised online environment will become the rage. Buying computing resources a la carte will help companies control costs while attaining the security, performance, scalability and reliability required for the enterprise. Consuming IT resources (connectivity, server and storage) on an as-needed basis will keep IT costs in control and eliminate the need, time and effort to outfit every desktop. Centralisation will keep IT departments on top of their game in 2009.
