Abstract
In today's education, content delivery, communication and collaboration are completely associated with information technology. With its fluid scalability and usage of virtualized infrastructure as a commodity across the internet, cloud computing is becoming an suitable technology for many enterprises. The impact on the education system would certainly be significant in the future. Software as a Service (SaaS) in cloud computing allows consumers registered or paying customer access to web-based applications or resources and not on the user's device. In this paper we will examine the implementation of SaaS in the field of education and learning. With the help of the available cloud applications offered by the cloud service providers, SaaS will soon have a significant impact for the educational and learning environment and allow its users (that is to say, teachers and administrators) to effectively perform their duties at lower expenses. The potential benefits of cloud computing can be utilized by both public and private institutions to provide better service, even with fewer resources.
