What actually is a SaaS?
SaaS (Software as a Service) is a software distribution model in which a third-party vendor creates and maintains software and makes it available to customers over the Internet. SaaS customers are most often companies, not only the end users of the applications Google products are a good example. In addition to using Google Docs and Google Drive by millions of users every day, almost all companies track the activity of their users with Google Analytics
B2B SaaS
These are companies that provide software (applications, extensions, add-ons) to other companies as a service. The products offered help to automate operations by improving efficiency and effectiveness while ensuring reduced spending on human resources. The most commonly used SasS are used to optimize sales, marketing, and customer service. They have an impact on increasing the efficiency eg. of the store to help generate more revenue.

Luke, I am extremely pleased that you accepted my invitation. Please introduce yourself a bit more.
Of course, I work in GetResponse where I am responsible for the back-end functionalities of products. Besides, I spent a lot of time in London, where I worked for a financial technology company. The two main topics I deal with are landing page MVPs and managing a team working remotely in my writing.
Let’s start with the Gartner prediction. They claim that by 2026 public cloud spending will exceed 45% of all enterprise IT spending, up from less than 17% in 2021. What is your view on this forecast?
I like the statement that the best way to predict the future is to create it. In my opinion, cloud spending is related to running a business, e.g., variable costs or product development, not the technology itself. I think that cloud spending is just playing out longer-term secular trends that have existed in tech like Metcalfe’s Law, Moore’s Law, etc. where it’s easier to have everything centralized but also available network resources for people. It sounds plausible.
20 years ago many SaaS products were innovative solutions. Today, user adoption of digital solutions is almost immediate. Everyone expects all apps to be useful, beautiful, easy, and quick! How do you find Saas products changed over the years? What advantages have SaaS solutions over-hosted traditionally?
I could say from GetResponse’s perspective. It was initially founded in 1998. At that time, the term SaaS did not yet exist. I think technology is changing rapidly, but users are interacting with software faster and more efficiently than they used to. What else has changed? The understanding of software, which is now more than just a presentation on a website, was typical in the 1990s. Most of all, however, users have changed, as they have begun to use the software in different ways or with different devices.
