Note
The lowercase letters are the clue: the small words as and a of software as a service survive in the spelling, while the capitals carry the content words. It is said as a single syllable, /sæs/, rather than letter by letter. As a mass noun it takes no plural (moving billing to SaaS), and it often stands before another noun as a modifier: SaaS subscriptions, a SaaS vendor.
