How is MS office SaaS?
I would consider google sheets as SaaS – I didn’t have to install or upgrade it.
Although MS Office came pre-installed, I still have to upgrade it myself – is he talking about the online version of MS office?
It’ll be great if someone can clarify this.
TIA
MS office online is SAAS, you never update and its for free and never pay for subscription, it just like email, you simply use it.
everything you pay for subscription is considered SaaS
How about a video on how to come up with Saas ideas?
Thanks a lot.. really informative..and nicely explained…

What type of technology id that IBM uses to write on the board .
I wonder every time . or its just animation type?
They write behind a glass board which they write normally, when the video is captured, the text is backwards. In editing, they flip the video so the text is readable(that is why they are writing with their left hand, assuming they are right handed).
You can look for “Glassboard” .
