When we talk about cloud services (cloud computing) we mean the current trend to base applications on externally hosted services on the internet. However, the concept is much larger since there are different types of services. Here we focus on the mode in which Viafirma offers its services, SaaS.
Its exact definition is SaaS (Software as a Service). This is a software distribution model where the company serves the maintenance, support and operation that clients will use during the time that has been contracted the service. The client will use the system hosted by the company, which will keep customer information in their systems and will provide the necessary resources to exploit that information.
