Microsoft has today made SaaS architectural guidance available through a
sample application, aimed at illustrating the key architectural principles
behind SaaS. The application is an implementation of the guidance that the
Microsoft Architecture Team has been publishing over the past year into a
reference application and accompanying source code.
As SaaS becomes an increasingly important software delivery model, Microsoft
says it will continue to provide guidance and enablement to the architectural
and developer communities, and characterizes today’s release as an
important step forward on that path.
