If one assumes the tendency of the rate of profit to fall (see TRPF), the rise of software as a service (SaaS) can be interpreted in terms of TRPF. The main IT players try to keep their profit margins from falling by switching to a more profitable niche - such as services - as their core businesses are saturating - not giving astonishing growth figures any more.
