How to Build an Incredible SaaS Business

Building SaaS businesses can be tricky, as is anything when it comes to technology. Technology is a continuously evolving entity, and so any software an organisation builds will need to evolve, continuously update and revolutionise their offering in order to stay ahead of the curve at the forefront of their industry.

While it’s seen as a challenge, there are a good number of SaaS businesses that have succeeded and proceed to revolutionise their industry with the technology they build, scaling and selling their service internationally – this is why building a successful SaaS business is so sought after.

On this panel hosted by Michael Gibson, the audience can observe an interesting discussion from an assortment of leaders in the region’s biggest SaaS businesses. Through this festival and panel, we are able to catch a glimpse into a world of successful SaaS offering and innovation; we have a chance to learning what it means to offer software as a service to stakeholders and what it takes to build a platform such as FlexMR’s InsightHub, that offers a way for brands to take charge of their own future.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn from senior insight professionals about the importance of SaaS businesses
  • Explore what it takes to drive business success in the insights industry
