Software as a service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet—as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management.

SaaS applications are sometimes called web-based software, on-demand software, or hosted software. Whatever the name, SaaS applications run on a SaaS provider’s servers. The provider manages access to the application, including security, availability, and performance. Many of us use these applications daily!

Today I speak to Nathan Gampel, the CEO of Simpel and Associates, who are known as business transformation specialists. For more than two decades, Nathan has advised leading organizations on their most complex change programs. From private equity led mergers and acquisitions to modernizing how global organizations work, Nathan helps companies win at change. Nathan is also the inventor of Kinetic Transformation; a patent-pending algorithm for understanding change at scale and creating actions that beat the 70% challenge.

For anyone who wants to understand the world of SaaS, this is your episode.
