That's amazing how SaaS is getting trendy these days.

was. With all the revelations about data security, I reckon 2014/2015 will be slightly flatter than in that infographic.

It is only trendy when people don't have to take responsibility for their data security.

Not sure data security will impact the SaaS growing trend. But it will definitely require SaaS to take it into account in their services.

Why do you think that is?

(Reason for asking: writing a book about SaaS. Writing a chapter on "why SaaS?" right now :))

Opened the link. Did ctrl+f "api". Nothing found. Closed the link.

Unless it has an API, I'm not interested in your SaaS.

Did you actually read it? It's an infographic, presented as a GIF. If you'd actually taken the time to look you would have seen ... that the API indeed does not appear.

I'd like to see some actual hard data to backup those figures. The "facts" are just percentages in growth and (extremely) optimistic projections, but besides Front, there doesn't seem to be any other sources.

This could have just as well been a product placement.

Not a single time is the acronym, or whatever the hell it is, defined.

SaaS stands for Software as a Service

Spying as a service :p

The post lost credibility for me when I saw it listed IBM's purchase of Tivoli as a notable M&A deal. First, the purchase was done in 1996, 17 years ago. Second, at the time, no one at Tivoli would have described their products as having anything to do with SaaS (known as ASP back then).

SAAS is trendy, but you shouldn't get caught up with the term. It's too general. Just because SAAS's are hot doesn't mean your product has product-market fit.
