Bright times expected in enterprise SaaS market
Enterprise SaaS Spot On
Following record-breaking numbers of M&A transactions in the enterprise SaaS sector since 2018, and surfing a strong wave of consolidation, valuations of SaaS businesses are expected to remain very high this year.
The software infrastructure transformation from traditional on-premise solutions to cloud has created opportunities for new innovative players in the enterprise SaaS industry. The M&A market has been very active in the last few years, as M&A has become a vital part of the strategy for larger SaaS companies in order to stay competitive. The rapidly growing industry has also attracted a lot of interest from financial investors.ALPO LUOSTARINEN, ENTERPRISE SAAS SPECIALIST, OAKLINS
