What is a Next-Generation SaaS Application?

The idea of software as a service (SaaS) has been with us for at least twenty years. In that time, SaaS has become the default for most software companies. Yet a substantial fraction of existing SaaS applications — probably including those your organization has built — are due for a major update.
