Speed and Stablity are good considerations for hosting your own applications. Especially in the knowledge space where people are often shuffling around oversized Office documents. Security is really going to be dependant upon the organization - many internal networks really aren't that secure, management just likes to believe that they are. Hopefully Single Sign-On will become less relevant with the adoption of OpenId (or whatever wins the whole Identity 2.0 thing). It should be possible to have a SaaS app authenticate a person's identity, and then have it synchronize against your organizations access control declarations, but we're still a few years larger adoption of that kind of thing I imagine.
