SaaS use in companies is soaring. According to our data, businesses now use an average of 37 applications. With more new SaaS products emerging on the horizon, the SaaS market is expected to grow to $195bn in 2023.

But at the same time, not getting the most out of your software can have adverse effects. In a survey by Cledara, 63% of employees think problems with SaaS are damaging their company’s culture.
