Gianpaolo Carraro and Fred Chong from the Microsoft Corp Architecture Strategy team have released the first Software as a Service sample application: LitwareHR.

LitwareHR is a fictitious HR application providing recruitment-management software delivered as a service. The goals of LitwareHR are:

• To be the embodiment of the SaaS architecture guidance described in our whitepapers published in the MSDN SaaS Architecture Center.
• To demonstrate how to use Microsoft technologies in the creation of SaaS solutions.

The sample is important not for what what it does, but how it does it. Architected as a single instance multi tenant solution, this application embodies many of the architecture principles Microsoft has published in the whitepapers [1] [2] and show how Microsoft technologies can be used for successfully build SaaS solutions.
