SaaS solutions have recently been gaining in popularity. As a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider, SaaS is available to users over the Internet in a form of the "Cloud." Introducing a new concept of ESaaS that is defined as Education Software-as-a-Service, this paper compares it with traditional education software, and discusses how such software can support the education system as a tool for enhancing information, and learning inquiry skills.
