Multi-Tenant SaaS

Definitions

1. A software architecture where many customers share the same core application environment and infrastructure while their data and permissions remain logically isolated. Multi-tenant SaaS usually supports better operational efficiency than one-deployment-per-customer models.

   In plain English: SaaS software where many customers share one system while their data stays separated.

   Example: "The shift to multi-tenant SaaS improved margins but required a more careful security model."
