The Road to SaaS

A CloudOps white paper on the journey from ISV to SaaS

The fight is over, and Software-as-a-Service has won. Software companies that wait too long to move to an on-demand model lose market share, and quickly grow out of touch with their customers.

Those are some pretty bold statements, and this document was written to convince you. It is based on discussions with hundreds of founders, investors, and startup accelerators, and hard-won lessons from dozens of companies that we’ve helped make the jump to SaaS.

In this paper you will learn about:

• How the shift to SaaS affects your revenue model.
• Governance and compliance.
• Cloud and DevOps.
• Architecting for performance and availability.
• How to implement lean IT.
