How does adding "Services" aka cost and complexity help ?
SaaS companies like Projity and Salesforce.com offer SaaS where you simply log into your browser and have productivity SaaS solutions. How does adding consulting, services, cost and complexity help the customer. They are calling it Software and Services because their architecture is not able to simply provide a multi-tenant pure SaaS play. I vote for the Projity/Salesforce.com model where I can trial for 30 days with live data and then subscribe montly. It works immediately and the cost is the total cost. I am not paying $2,000 a day for installation, integratation and configuration. That does not sound like a good bargin, they can call it what they want but Software and Services is far from Software as a Service.
