What is SaaS?
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. Using SaaS also can reduce the up-front expense of software purchases,
through less costly, on-demand pricing. From the sofware vendor's standpoint, SaaS has the attraction of
providing stronger protection of its intellectual property and establishing an ongoing revenue stream.
The SaaS software vendor may host the application on its own web server, or this function may be handled
by a third-party application service provider (ASP). from wiki.

What is "on demand"?
Anything that is provided as needed is "on demand". This is another word used widely in the market,
instead of SaaS based software.
