Business Consulting firm Frankfurt Partners (www.frankfurtpartners.com) will release the fourth edition of its biannual Software as a Service (SaaS) Valuation and Metric Report on March 15th.
SaaS remains a relatively new business model but it has outperformed the overall software market over the last few years. The global enterprise SaaS market will grow by 16% to $9.3B in 2011. In the past the largest proportion of SaaS customers were SMEs and medium-sized companies, but in the last 18 months SaaS deployments were becoming larger, with deals often covering tens of thousands of users. SaaS still has a great potential for growth in the next few years. As of 2010, it has reached less than 20% of its potential market.
“The M&A Activities have picked up in the last 18 month as a array of companies are seeking to capitalize on the rising demand for SaaS solutions and trying to position themselves as a strategic player in the SaaS market”, says Rene Meister, Managing Director of Frankfurt Partners.
Reserve your copy today and you will receive a “10% CeBIT discount. Instead of EUR299 the price will be only EUR269. This offer is valid until March 1st.
