DESCRIPTION
Download the report here: http://resources.mulesoft.com/SaaSIntegrationSurvey.html A number of studies indicate that integration is a major obstacle in the deployment of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), but none have examined the cloud integration problem from the perspective of the SaaS provider. For the second year in a row, MuleSoft teamed up with THINKstrategies to quantify the impact SaaS integration has on the SaaS providers ability to acquire and support new customers. These results validate the growing interest MuleSoft has seen from SaaS providers to build and offer integration as a part of their service. View the attached presentation for key findings of the report, respondent demographics and a summary of the survey question results.
