Software as a Service (SaaS)
Introduction
Considering purchasing new Software as a Service (SaaS) for your students or staff?
The Software Risk Assessment (SRA) process assesses and approves the use of SaaS systems.
In order to purchase a SaaS, you must go through the SRA. The below checklist will provide guidance and help support you through the assessment.
Please be aware that each SaaS option involves costs, and your requirements must be evaluated before moving forward with a SaaS solution.
N.B. This is not the Annual Computer Lab Software Request process which has been frozen for the 2024\25 academic year. For further details please see the news post Computer labs freeze 2024/25 academic year.
