# What does SaaS stand for?

SaaS stands for “Software as a Service“. A SaaS is a third-party provider that makes software available to you through the internet, instead of sending you physical software to upload to your computer. The advantage of SaaS is that the software is already configured (you just need to add your data) and you get instant access to software fixes, upgrades, new features and products.
