Your are right.

David Wadhwani was responsible at Adobe for the switch to the SaaS business model. Because of that he got a job as CEO of AppDynamics, to make them ready for an IPO.



It's more accurate to describe it as a subscription model. SaaS typically means that the software is delivered as a service (hence the name) and is not installed locally. That's not the case with most of Adobe's products--although they do have SaaS elements (e.g. cloud storage) of various sorts.
