Project Proposal
So I have officially fixed my course project topic, and have begun research.
I plan on researching the topic of software as a service (SaaS). This will include the development, current applications, advantages, disadvantages, competition, and predicted future of SaaS. As I proceed through the semester and better understand SaaS as a process it is possible I will need to add or combine these sections to best describe the topic as a whole. Below I have outlined my current information and what I plan to expand upon throughout the semester.
· Development
o How SaaS was designed to work for society.
o What caused it’s demand.
o SaaS systems development life cycle
· Current Applications
o Education
o Social Networking
o Business
· Advantages
o No Downloading
o Licensing eliminates maintenance
o Accessing information through a browser.
o Deployment Cost
o Integration among services
o Quickly profitable
· Disadvantages
o Accessing data without internet
o Security
· Competition
o How to compete
o Software as a product
o Service plus services (Microsoft)
· Predicted Future
o What’s Next?
I plan on delivering this project through a report and currently a power point (though I may choose to decide to deliver through a different second medium)
