There’s always that one employee who refuses to follow directions. It seems that no matter how many times you talk to him, he continues to “forget” to do what he’s told or at worst, intentionally refuses to do it. So, what do you do with an employee like this?

It is the model in which a cloud service provider hosts software or application and makes them available for the end-user. The cloud service provider can either be a third party or the software vendor itself. In any case, the SaaS model is a win-win model that benefits the software vendor as well as the end-user.
