Dear Sir/Madame/Ms, I am an MSc student in London. As a part of my thesis on the study of integration of open source technologies and Software as a Service( SaaS), I have developed questionnaire surveys to gain perspective into current trends in the SaaS marketplace, aimed at SaaS vendors, SMBs, Enterprises and other users. Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced 'sass') is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet. By eliminating the need to install and run the application on the customer's own computer, SaaS alleviates the customer's burden of software maintenance, ongoing operation, and support.
Your participation is absolutely critical to the success of this project. Only through your responses can we better understand the SaaS marketplace. All answers will be used only for the research purpose and will be kept confidential. The following parties will benefit from this research: • SMBs looking for greater customisation capabilities and data security while looking to reduce IT operational costs. • Vendors, big and small, would be able to provide better customer satisfaction and gain greater visibility in the marketplace. It will also be appreciated if you can forward the link to others whom you think will be interested. Below are the links to the surveys: If you are an individual SaaS user, or user of SaaS applications subscribed to by your company, or work in an SMB considering SaaS options,please click on the survey link below : http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=1050289 If you are from a company that provides SaaS applications (vendor), please click on the vendor survey link below. http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=1050076 Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to give me feedback on this survey setup.
