SaaS ContractingThe SaaS contracting white paper discusses typical caveats when procuring SaaS based software. If you are responsible for IT budgets or working with IT contracts, you most likely will encounter unexpected costs from SaaS vendors.

The white paper that can be found here discusses the distinction between challenges that follows from the technology and challenges that are merely commercial. And also how the challenges may be countered. |
