A text marketing solutions provider offers their solutions through software – which is almost and always web-based. Now there are two types of text message software, one is desktop and the other is web-based. Not so long ago – about a decade – there was at least few commercial texts messaging software available. At the time the concept of Software as a Service (SaaS) was in the early stages. Thus, most text message software products were downloadable things that you ran from your desktop. Moving it forward to a few years ago and the idea of desktop based software for a task that requires an Internet connection has become somewhat a rare one. Instead, most the application runs through the browser – and this is the way nearly all popular SMS Marketing services work.
