SaaS applications have the potential to cater services to small, medium, and large enterprises efficiently. Organizations today are growing rapidly, and they require operations to scale up as per the demand. With the ease in scalability feature offered by the SaaS model, many organizations seem to adopt the SaaS model for their various operations, be it managing their IT infrastructure, financial management, human capital management, asset monitoring, or any other useful domain. Adopting such a modular structure that can scale up the IT infrastructure, storage, computing, fabric, and virtualization in a single architecture is being rapidly adopted across the globe, offering lucrative business opportunities to the global software as a service market players.

These factors are further propelling the software as a service market growth.
SaaS is an advanced technology transforming traditional on-premise software systems into a modern cloud-based solution globally. Along with reduced efforts of running a process and installing and purchasing software, it also helps an organization minimize costs and maximize revenue. Consequently, private organizations worldwide have understood the potential behind these services and come up with cloud-based services. These factors are boosting the growth of the market.
Strategic Insights
With the growing concerns for security and privacy of data, private cloud deployment model was developed but that proved to be very costly. All the data of organizations cannot be mission critical and sensitive. Various type of data demands for varying levels of security.

Banking sector that has to store large amounts of sensitive data is the most benefitted business segment due to the introduction of hybrid cloud deployment model. Hybrid cloud model is thus expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, offering lucrative growth opportunities to the hybrid software as a service market share.
