Due Week 9 and worth 100 points
The popularity and rapid adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) by a number of organizations has impacted internal IT / IS departments.

2. Evaluate the ways that SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS are used to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase Return on Investment (ROI).
3. Examine the impact to the IT support personnel when an organization embarks on the strategy stated in Question 1.
4. Analyze three considerations that the organization’s management should be aware of.
5. Examine three security issues that could arise from this type of an infrastructure.
