PaaS vs IaaS vs SaaS
Cloud business models are all built on top of cloud computing, a concept that took over around 2006 when former Google's CEO Eric Schmit mentioned it. Most cloud-based business models can be classified as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), or SaaS (Software as a Service). While those models are primarily monetized via subscriptions, they are monetized via pay-as-you-go revenue models and hybrid models (subscriptions + pay-as-you-go).
The “as-a-service” models are typical of the second wave of Web 2.0, built on top of cloud computing. Indeed, these models' basic premise is to offer a solution to the final customer without having to host it on-premise, with complex implementations and large overhead. Yet while PaaS and IaaS are skewed toward development teams. SaaS has wider applications toward end-users, also in non-technical departments.
