What Is SaaS?

Software you use in a browser on a subscription, hosted and updated by the vendor.

Legal Tech GlossaryBy The Circle Desk

Why It Matters

Most new legal software is SaaS. It removes the need to run servers, but it makes the vendor's security, data location and exit terms central to the buying decision.

Related Terms

On-premises
Software installed on an organization's own servers rather than hosted by the vendor in the cloud.
Multi-tenant vs single-tenant
In multi-tenant software many customers share the same application and infrastructure with their data kept separate; in single-tenant software each customer gets its own instance.
