It was a usual perception that Software products had to be only installed on the client server or site to meet the document and data management needs. Some of the bottle necks were the client s willingness to accept a software product hosted at a remote server. But because of the user benefits and ease of licensing based on the client needs and not requiring bulk investments. Web application software programs have been widely accepted in multiple domains.

At an enterprise or business level, the applications that are widely in use are Human Resource Management Software (HRM Software), CRM Software, ERP Applications, Accounting, Inventory Management, Students information and operation management software in Educational Institutions, Hospital Management Software systems and so on. Though most of the applications can be perceived as an ERP in individual business needs, the software apps have been developed by companies keeping in mind the individual business sector needs.

The software as a service can also be used in the government to public interactions like application sites like tax payments, utility bill payments, data collection like working men, nature of service and so on. The SaaS can find electoral use in updating public information for polling purposes and so on. The information would benefit both the government authorities and the general public in handling the information. The application would seek integrated information management, features and modules with robust data handling capacity. This will significantly improve the planning of the progress, forecasting public works and related demographical needs.
