David Quaid says, “With the growth of SaaS services, more and more Web applications and technologies are no longer being deployed as plug-ins or COM components that the Internet was built on, but more and more through API and hosted services. This model is a lot safer and the burden of buying into tools is greatly reduced thanks to both the business model (software rental) and scalability.

For example, almost every Web agency uses the Google’s Analytics tool to measure Web statistics. There’s almost no reason to have a proprietary in-house solution. Google Analytics is free, constantly evolving and automatically integrated into Google’s other features. You could trace data back to 2004 or 2003 if you’ve been using it that long. Given that the average small to medium business website fits in a 50mb of hosting space or less, most businesses have never even considered the cost of storing that kind of data”.
