“software is eating the world”

Marc Andreessen, Wall Street Journal, 2011

• The global software applications market was valued at USD 9.6 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 16.3 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 9.1%.
• There were over 23,000 software publishers in the world as of April 2021, around 16,000 of which were Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies.
• Over 100,000 software startups launched globally in 2020, which equates to an average of over 1,900 startups per week.
• According to a widely cited study by Harvard Business School it is estimated that around 75% of all software startups fail eventually, and a substantial portion of these fail within the first two years.

Today, every business depends on software to run, improve and grow.

Accounting, design, sales. manufacturing, logistics, marketing, training, compliance, HR, all use software applications to achieve their goals.

Some applications are universal like email or spreadsheets, while others are closely targeted on the needs of very specific customers like dentists, insurance brokers or yoga instructors.

In such a software-dependent, fast-moving and interconnected world there is increasing demand for software apps to integrate with each other, across teams and between businesses.

For example, why shouldn’t a new visitor to your website be able to schedule time directly in the relevant salespersons calendar, have that logged in your CRM system while automatically triggering a nurturing email campaign in your marketing automation and having a summary of that whole engagement published on your Sales team’s collaboration and messaging channel?

When software is better integrated it speeds innovation, accelerates time to revenue for new products, improves the customer experience and reduces friction and latency in our business processes.

BUT – the proliferation of software has not been based on consistent design and development practices, instead offering a complex environment of competing and conflicting standards, interfaces and data that presents significant obstacles to integration and the benefits it can deliver.

With the explosion of software applications, building and maintaining integrations continues to be a mission-critical challenge for technology companies such as SaaS providers, platform businesses, marketplaces and others that require automation and integration.

To meet these demands, Technology companies resort to traditional strategies:

Building integrations with their in-house development resources, outsourcing to different contractors, or sending their users to third-party tools.

But these strategies pose critical challenges:

1. Compatibility: One of the primary challenges of integrating app is ensuring that different applications are compatible with each other. Applications may be built on different technologies and APIS, which can lead to compatibility issues. They may have different requirements and dependencies, which can make it difficult to integrate them seamlessly and result in a poor user experience.
2. Data security: Integrating apps in a SaaS environment can pose a security risk if proper security measures are not put in place. Sensitive data may be exposed or vulnerable if not properly protected.
3. Data consistency: Maintaining data consistency across different applications is critical. If data is stored in different locations under the control of different applications, it can be difficult to ensure that it is consistent and up-to-date.
4. User experience: If the integration between apps is not seamless and easy to manage, users may experience a disjointed or inconsistent experience, which can lead to frustration and decreased productivity with an eventual reduction in wider adoption, satisfaction and retention.
5. Maintenance: Maintenance is another challenge when integrating apps in a SaaS environment. If one of the integrated applications undergoes an update or change, it can break the integration and require additional maintenance and support to fix.

All of this leads to wasted development time and a poor customer experience.
