On-Demand Software

 

Description

On-demand software enables users to access tools that are hosted and maintained online.

 

Uses and Potential Benefits

On-demand access is lessening the need for in-house technical staff and making a wider array of tools accessible and affordable for organizers.  Example: a foundation might put all its grantee information on salesforce.com, reducing the cost of maintaining an in-house grants management system.
