Free Report - Software-as-a-Service: A Comprehensive Look at the Total Cost of Ownership of Software Applications

Overview According to Gartner, the annual cost to own and manage software applications can be up to four times the cost of the initial purchase. As a result, companies end up spending more than 75% of their total IT budget just on maintaining and running existing systems and software infrastructure.

This special report was prepared by the Software-as-a-Service Executive Council of the Software & Information Industry Association. Using this report, you can better determine the your organization's best solution when considering the purchase of software vs. software-as-a-service. Three case studies are provided to demonstrate the relative value of software-as-a-service.
