In their own words “2013 is the breakout year for SaaS. ” When asked how they plan to purchase management and automation software over the next two years, for the first time ”Delivered via SaaS” rather than “Classic perpetual license” was the most popular choice. “As most of you know, SaaS has been on a tear for a couple of years now – it’s neat to finally see that reflected in the data.” To us , this is hardly a surprise. Ever since we launched ServiceDesk Plus On-Demand , the fully SaaS version of ServiceDesk Plus in late 2010, we have seen an encouraging adoption rate that only seems to grow each day.

The On-Demand version of ServiceDesk Plus itself is the byproduct of ManageEngine’s extensive experience in the ITSM market and Zoho’s ( ManageEngine’s parent company).
