Situation: You're looking for a free PMO app or PM SaaS solutions.

AppExchangeSoftware as a service (Saas) is a pretty hot buzzword these days in IT.   It is essentially web-based commercial software that is managed by the vendor.  Many of these can be great if the software is essentially what you need "as is"  without customization.  This is often true if what you are looking for sits outside of your organization's core competency or if you are just dealing with some basic, generic requirements.  Salesforce.com has an interesting service to help you find these applications called AppExchange .   

In my travels through the site I found some neat litlle apps that many of us would find useful.  

- This adoption dashboard helps you track the usage (one measure of success) of the application you just delivered.
- There's also a free Project and Issue Management App that's worth a look.
- Many leading PM software vendors have apps on the exchange.
- There's even a free app, StraightThrough PMO,  that might be a good starting point if you have a new PMO.
