Most rational people detest the idea of being ?hooked? on anything. And when in such a situation, humans actively seek to unload that which holds and confines them. It is true of cocaine and it is equally true of traditional license based software. SaaS will be successful because the underlying economic benefits to the end user favors SaaS over the traditional license based model. Whether SaaS companies can generate superior returns over conventional models is perhaps questionable. However the absolute economic value that SaaS delivers to the end user is quantifiable and indisputable. In the end, this will drive the continued adoption and success of the SaaS model and it is for this reason that the conventional model?s days are numbered.
I hope there are more CEOs out there with the same view. Taking their customers is like shooting fish in a barrel.
