SaaS Spike Soon

Large companies appear to be jumping en masse onto the software-as-a-service bandwagon, according to a new survey of CIOs by management consultants McKinsey & Company. The survey found that 61% of North American companies with sales over $1 billion plan to adopt SaaS applications over the next year, a dramatic increase from the 38% who were planning to install SaaS apps in 2005.

… The most popular SaaS business applications, according to the McKinsey
study, are for human-resource management, billing and order entry, and
sales management. Those were also the most popular in the 2005 survey.
