Generally I think SaaS can save companies money. I also think they can buy simpler, "smaller" products via a SaaS model and worry less about ultra-long sales cycles and bloat-ware.

In the case of NetSuite, the ERP offering is very appealing ot companies using an enterprise ERP system which may be too big and complex for them. Moving to NetSuite still gives them an integrated system more appropriate for their budget and company needs.

But with powerhouses like Amazon behind cloud computing, you can't really get away from the overall SaaS model at this point in time. When I started in SaaS - around 1998/1999 - companies were afraid of a lot of things - security, stability, paying monthly - but most of those fears/concerns are gone. @Mike: I think the growth of SaaS is inevitable, although it won’t be as robust in 2009 with the recession.
