STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR CLOUD APPLICATIONS
Webapper Shared Tips & Resources
Save time, deliver better customer experiences, and maximize your technology investment.
SaaS Lead Generation
Generating qualified leads is essential for growing a SaaS product. As a team that not only builds SaaS products for others, we also practice what we preach on our own SaaS solution. Here are some ideas we use for SaaS lead generation, and perhaps your organization could employ a few of these tactics too.
Scaling SaaS
Scaling your SaaS solution requires strategic planning, a focus on sustainable revenue growth, investment in infrastructure, iteration of processes, attention to customer satisfaction, and diligent effort with security. While each of these areas are essential in establishing your SaaS foundation, their challenges and impact magnify as you grow.
How Managed Hosting Can Help Your Organization
Managed hosting can provide great value for organizations that want a secure, reliable, and efficient online presence. It frees up internal IT resources from tasks that may fall outside their expertise. One size does not fit all, and not all Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer the same levels of service. It's important to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of managed hosting to determine if it's the right choice for you.
Go To Market Strategy for a SaaS Product
When launching a new SaaS product, you need a plan to maximize your ability to launch and acquire new customers. Your Go To Market strategy should focus on defining the unique characteristics of your product and demonstrating how it addresses needs of the target market. After working on a number of startups and SaaS launches, we see four cornerstones for a successful go to market strategy for a SaaS product.
The Case for Private SaaS
As security challenges mount for enterprise customers, we see an emergence of private SaaS solutions. Enterprises and large organizations who need major customizations to the system, stringent security, or definitive control over their environment use private SaaS (dedicated SaaS). Private SaaS differs from multi-tenant SaaS model. Rather than a single instance of software being shared by customers, each customer has their own environment.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in SaaS
AI is permeating everyday life at a rapid clip, especially with the emergence of ChatGPT. But we've only scratched the surface. SaaS applications will see strong growth in AI integrations, including machine learning. The combination of AI/ML in SaaS is powerful, and it will dramatically impact our productivity and capabilities for years to come.
The Rise of Mobile-First SaaS
In SaaS, it's apparent that most products are developed for desktop first. Given the nature of our hybrid work environment today, many tech experts predict that mobile apps will become increasingly dominant. SaaS businesses that fail to offer mobile-friendly solutions risk losing customers and falling behind their competitors. We see a significant growth opportunity for mobile-first SaaS products.
The Rise of MicroSaaS
Software-as-a-Service is huge. A staggering 99% of companies will use at least one SaaS product by the end of 2023. SaaS niches are dominated by a handful of vendors. For example, in CRM, it's Salesforce, Hubspot, ClickUp and Monday. Competitive markets don't preclude innovation though -- we're seeing the emergence of micro solutions to augment these big players. Witness the rise of microSaaS products.
Amazon S3 Browsers
S3 buckets are a foundational element of AWS. Unfortunately, Amazon S3 can become a dumping ground for media and data. Managing files on S3 can become unwieldy from the AWS Console, and dealing with the many use cases poses security challenges. One of the areas that administrators struggle is simple file management, which has led to an 'aftermarket' of tools. One such segment is Amazon S3 browsers.
Why ChatGPT is the Chatbot That Will Take Over the SaaS World
You've no doubt been deluged with stories about ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an important tool that can help improve communication, personalization, accessibility, and efficiency in a wide range of applications. We're all going to find many uses for it. We explain why ChatGPT is the chatbot will take over the SaaS world.
