Four things you need to know before your SaaS transition
SaaS transformation goes beyond the technical. Success involves establishing the strategic foundations for agility and growth across your organization—including cultural and business, strategies.
1. Think business first—not technology
Agree on your business goals first—such as how your SaaS journey will help you innovate faster, build a competitive edge, or even nurture stronger customer loyalty.
2. Choose pace over perfection
Instill an agile mentality to collect feedback, test assumptions, assess operational improvements, and launch a minimum viable service as soon as possible.
3. Embrace a service mindset
Go deeper into the customer journey to build an exceptional end-to-end service experience, so you can keep increasing your customer value.
4. Don’t wait to collaborate
Avoid roadblocks and misalignment during the go-to-market phase, by bringing everyone on board—such as sales and marketing—during the business strategy stage.
