Why Sakai as a Service?
Providing a CLE is strategic
Running it yourself is not
It is cost-effective to hire specialists
Quicker startup, no capital investments
More predictable costs (human and capital)
Lower costs of ownership or access
Greater reliability

Why Sakai as a Service?
Campus can reallocate staff resources
Focus resources on outcomes, not technology
Focus staff on training/engaging faculty
Technical staff gain experience with open source
Gradually take ownership of the project
Not a proprietary instance of Sakai
No vendor lock-in assures choices

Why SaaS for Colleges?
Smaller colleges are less likely to have expertiseJava, Tomcat, Subversion, Ant, Maven…
SaaS lowers threshold for useTrain and access within a week at a low cost
Teaching and learning are paramountSakai is providing pedagogical flexibilityGood argument for Sakai in general
Achieve this innovation at lower risk without long term commitment through SaaS
