Google Apps, as you know, are offered free of charge, so if you're using that suite, a good revenue model might be based on consulting services. If you were just referring to Google Apps as an example and are speaking conceptually, you could license the software through the hardware vendor or ISP. Less control, but frees up your time for other projects. Or you could contract for the necessary hosting services and sell directly to the customer. More control, more details to manage.

Hopefully one of our readers will come along and have an informed opinion for you!

With the increased uptake of Google Apps. What are your view on where this sits with Saas? I (possible vendor) don't own the hardware or data but do need to charge for the use of the software.
