What is SaaS? Software as a Service
Traditionally, organizations that implemented software systems, such as a Learning Management System (LMS) or Learning Content Management System(LCMS), faced a significant investment. They needed to purchase not only the technology, but also hire IT and support personnel to manage it.

With the SaaS model, a software vendor hosts and supports the software. The client subscribes to the software rather than licensing it and running it on their own server. There are several client benefits to this model:

• Lower initial costs and reduced in-house support
• Faster deployment
• An ability to focus on the organization's core business, instead of spending resources to support yet another system

Knowledge Direct® is a SaaS solution, providing the right mix of LMS, LCMS and Web 2.0 features to lower your costs and increase the effectiveness of your training.
