Answer – D
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)—also known as cloud-based software—is now mainstream. SaaS is a way of delivering applications over the Internet—as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access itvia the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) allows access to software on a subscription basis using external servers, thus it is a software licensing model.
- Statement 1 is correct: SaaS buyers can customize the user interface (UI) to change the look and feel of the program, as well as modify specific areas, such as data fields, to alter what data appears. They have provided flexibility to be modified for specific business uses but also for individual users.
- Statement 2 is correct: SaaS allows users to access the software through a web browser from multiple locations. They can have remote desktop software and can work from home. SaaS allows each user to access programs via the Internet using mobile devices without the need to install the software on his/her computer
