also about the complete architecture of SaaS with enterprise

applications and SOA.






He used the example of Virtual Edge (VE), an applicant track suite. The

configurations, 24/7 availability and universal accessibility. The

challenges were customization, third-party application integration,

multi-tenant application and database and providing 24/7 availability.

benefits are application-level integration, security for file exchange,

user store and open standard; however, the challenges come from

funding, seamless integration and performance aspect.






And lastly, the benefits in a complete architecture (SaaS+ enterprise
application+ SOA) are that all the application are SaaS-based, on the

enterprises architecture. It also ensures timeless implementation,

sharing of utility services, shared infrastructure services, re-use of

the infrastructure and development of new services in faster time.
