Software as a Service (SaaS) Agreements: Who Owns What?
The Tech & Sourcing blog of Morgan Lewis takes a look at Software as a Service (SaaS) agreements — starting with the perspective of a solution that uses a dedicated service.
The authors of the article describe this scenario: “The application is provided and hosted as a dedicated instance, with common base software (sometimes with customization or variation) but running as a separate instance in a dedicated environment.”
The discuss:
- Base software and documentation
- Generally available modifications and enhancements
- Code customization
- Configurations and integrations
- Customer and user data (including aggregated data)
- System performance data
