The Pain of Integration for B2B SaaS Companies
Integrating various software applications poses significant challenges for B2B SaaS companies, as average firms utilize over 130 different software tools. This high number of applications necessitates not only extensive integration efforts to meet customer expectations but also the maintenance of those integrations as the customer base evolves.
