The upfront cost to deploy a Software as a Service (SaaS) application has been drastically reduced with the advent of cloud computing. This has significantly lowered the entry barrier allowing many small businesses and start-ups to become providers of SaaS applications. However, getting past the entry barrier quickly leads to other challenges. Perhaps the largest challenge for many organizations involves selecting the right architecture and technologies for enabling their SaaS application to easily integrate with customers’ existing software. \nThis paper proposes a high-level architecture and technology selection that supports the rapid development of Community Software as a Service (CSaaS) cloud based application that can be easily integrated into a customer’s existing web property.
