Top SaaS Companies and Startups to Watch Out in 2023
Software as a service (SaaS) is delivery and licensing model in which software is accessed on the web via a subscription rather than installed on local computers. With SaaS, companies need not manage applications or invest in hardware to run their applications. Instead, a provider hosts and manages the infrastructure to support software. This enables updates and patches to be applied automatically and universally and reduces the burden on a company’s IT team. The SaaS model can reduce costs for IT infrastructure that would previously have hosted the applications. It can also minimise some of the time spent on management tasks because a SaaS provider is responsible for upgrades and management.
Many business applications are now available in the SaaS model. These include email, sales management, customer relationship management, financial management, human resource management, billing, and collaboration applications. Below we are presenting you with the best SaaS companies and startups in the UK to watch out for in 2023.
