SAS

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, SAS has been mentioned in 4 episodes across 3 podcasts, first heard Jun 2023 on Brian Dean. Podcasts frequently discuss SaaS as a key business model. In "How I Built a $2.9M SaaS Company," strategies for growing a SaaS company are explored, although there’s also a caution against entering the market. Daniel Priestley highlights it as a prime opportunity transformed by AI, while Robin Thurston notes its importance in shifting revenue models to recurring streams, indicating its growing relevance in various industries.

Software as a service is a cloud computing service model in which a provider delivers application software to clients while managing the required physical and software resources. SaaS applications are accessed via either a web application or locally-installed software. Unlike other software delivery models, SaaS separates "the possession and ownership of software from its use". The use of SaaS began around 2000, and by 2023 was the main form of software application deployment.
