Vertical SaaS

There has been a growing emphasis on developing specialised SaaS applications for industries such as healthcare, finance, retail, and manufacturing. Industry leaders divulge how to utilise vertical SaaS to provide targeted solutions that streamline operations and deliver industry-specific value.

AI and machine learning

SaaS platforms are using AI and machine learning to provide enhanced insights, automate repetitive tasks, improve personalisation, and optimise processes for users. Experts explore how this drives efficiency and effectiveness, and debate the downsides – if any – of this technology.

Low-code/no-code platforms

The rise of low-code and no-code platforms is democratising software development, allowing non-technical users to create and customise apps without coding knowledge. But challenges exist. Join industry experts as they discuss the main issues, including scalability, customisation, and the potential pitfalls of vendor lock-in.

Enhanced integration and connectivity

Seamless integration and connectivity between SaaS applications is crucial for businesses to create unified workflows and dataflows. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on open APIs, standardised data formats, and interoperability. How might this benefit companies?
