Or what if company X goes under? I think a lot of research has to be done by all parties making the decision to go with SaaS solely because you may be painting yourself into a corner that may be very difficult to get out of. That being said, I fear for my church as they will eventually have to "upgrade" to Vista at some time in the future due to not having a true IT department that can research the alternatives. I foresee a lot of wasted money and resources making things work sufficiently with their current existing infrastructure.
