Overview Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has many advantages over traditional "on-premise" enterprise software, causing companies increasingly to consider SaaS solutions.

Today's newest analytics technologies are available as SaaS offerings, enabling a fundamentally new approach to delivering business analytics solutions. This white paper explains why business analytics, more than other enterprise applications, benefits from new cloud computing-based SaaS infrastructures.
