One interim solution before moving full scale to a multi-tenant SaaS is taking advantage of OS and hardware improvements. For example, you can cluster many high performance servers and divide the server pool into hundreds of small virtual machines. You can put idential applications into each silo. To your customer, this is tranparent. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You need to be very displined not to be enticed by customers paying you for making incremental changes to each install. The worst case is to create many different schemas and instances of seemingly identical application. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking forward to your book.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Charles</description></item><item><title>SaaS Customization is Great.

We started off by using Microsoft Network Load Balancing but after a while you need other strategies for intelligent load balancing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Localisation. Delivering SaaS software over borders, timezones and different languages might present a few more challenges than in normal software development.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Development vs. operations. The interface between application developlent and operations is not such a clean cut interface when it comes to SaaS applications. Both building and operating software under the same roof can lead to many heated debates on where the responsibility for bugs, quality of service, etc. How can we better integrate the development and operational methodolgy?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good luck with your book!</description></item><item><title>SaaS guidance and seminars</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/fred_chong/archive/2006/02/17/534633.aspx#1155334</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Nov 2006 01:37:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1155334</guid><dc:creator>Michel Baladi on software</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I recently found out that two of my colleagues from the Microsoft’s Architecture Strategy Team in Redmond,&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Release Announcment: Litware HR - A Sample SaaS Application</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/fred_chong/archive/2006/02/17/534633.aspx#1630071</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Feb 2007 01:12:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1630071</guid><dc:creator>Fred Chong's WebBlog</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It sure feels like a long time ago since I first started working on this project.
