The SaaS 20 Stock Index, is an index of 20 publicly held companies that focus on software as a service (SaaS). Most of the index members are pure SaaS companies. But a few (Amazon.com, Dell, EMC, Google, Ingram Micro and Intuit) are transitioning into the SaaS space. Each index member is equally weighted. For instance, a 5 percent decline in Google (GOOG) shares would offset a 5 percent gain in Vocus (VOCS) shares. The SaaS Index was complied by Joe Panettieri of Nine Lives Media.
