A key to lowering operational costs with PaaS is having a self service channel for Tenants to utilize.  Self service refers to the fact that Tenants carry out many PaaS-centric operations themselves without involving an administrator:

• PaaS instance creation
• Scale-out (request additional capacity)
• User administration
• Usage tracking

The self service channel can vary, however a common approach is to provide a basic web application that is available within a corporate firewall.
