Abstract:
Cloud Computing, software as a service (SaaS), and serviceoriented architecture (SOA) are growing phenomena in the business world. In contrast to traditional software systems, where organizations maintain technical staff and enough computer hardware to run their business applications effectively, SaaS and Cloud Computing are beginning to change this traditional way of managing information technology (IT). SaaS has an incentive to release new features as soon as they are completed to the users.
This paper looks at these three phenomena from different perspectives. The first is to highlight the effectiveness of SaaS in an organization, and the cost savings that may enhance the organization’s goal of increasing their loyal customer base. The second is providing an overview of Cloud Computing along with a comparison of current Cloud Computing providers. The third is the presentation of a novel approach of SOA as SOA 3.0 or Achievable SOA (ASOA), which can be used by organizations as a standard practice to achieve efficient and cost effective solutions to run their business smoothly.
