but gaining traction among midsize and large enterprise. SaaS thought leader
Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies, Inc. and founder of
the SaaS Showplace commented on the emerging trend. "Our latest survey in
conjunction with Cutter Research has found that SaaS adoption within the
enterprise has nearly doubled over the past year. Customers are using SaaS
solutions to accelerate the deployment of business applications and increase
the productivity of their staffs."

service providers (MSPs) a proven on-demand service alternative that
significantly enhances cost savings while increasing virtual support and
productivity.
