SaaS

What is SaaS?

SaaS (Software as a Service) is a software distribution model where applications are hosted in the cloud and accessed by users over the internet on a subscription basis. In HR, SaaS platforms have become the dominant delivery model for payroll, applicant tracking, performance management, learning management, and employee engagement tools. SaaS HR solutions offer advantages including lower upfront costs, automatic updates, scalability, and accessibility from any device. Organisations evaluating SaaS HR vendors should consider data security, integration capabilities, compliance certifications, and service level agreements.
