Software as a Service (SaaS)

I see this as a great opportunity for Apache Ofbiz

For decades, companies ran their software on their own infrastructure.
Software as a Service is a new delivery model where companies pay not
for owning the software itself but for using it. In the SaaS scenario, a
software provider is responsible for its availability (maintenance,
scalability, disaster recovery, etc.). That’s what the companies pay
for. The purpose of this site is twofold:

    * To explain to potential customers of this delivery model the
benefits and the impact in their current enterprise architectures.
    * To provide to software companies who want to deliver software in
this way the considerations and best practices for scalable
applications, enabled for multiple tenants.
