Growth and scaling

Many major SaaS players had their valuations stall in 2022.  What does it take to grow and succeed in the current environment? Let the leading players in the field share how they started and scaled, and how they maintained a strong business offering, regardless of what was happening in the market.

Teams, integrations and cross-platform tools
When it comes to teams’ productivity, third-party integration is critical to creating a unifying experience. Applications are starting to understand the importance of working together instead of against each other.

Vertical SaaS

Converted by Covid, normalised by value: vertical SaaS is here to stay. Vertical SaaS is growing massively with increasing interest from investors and venture capitalists. Instead of adding value to specific business functions like sales and marketing, it can solve particular pain points in specific markets like healthcare, automotive, and publishing. 

Automated processes and hyperpersonalisation
In a modern digital business, leveraging the power of AI, machine learning and automated data processing seems no longer optional. We introduce you to the newest technologies and implementation strategies that will help you learn more and succeed sooner.
