Take the SaaS Survey

Now in its fifth year, this survey is the standard by which SaaS technology providers track and measure key trends, developments and metrics in the industry. This survey is aimed at business entities who are currently selling SaaS products in the commercial software marketplace. You or a colleague can take the survey at the link below:

SaaS Subscription Length Models

Key SaaS Business Metrics

Community/Product Management and SaaS

This is a big survey: based on a respondents answers, they'll fill out approximately 75 to 90 questions, but we've made them as simple and easy-to-follow as possible. I estimate that this survey will take from 20 to 30 minutes to complete .

Everyone who supplies data for this survey will receive a complimentary copy of the COMPLETE summary results in upcoming issues of Softletter. Of course, all responses will be strictly confidential. We won't disclose or identify data about any individuals or about participating companies.

Also, I think the very act of taking the survey is a very useful educational exercise into current SaaS trends and best practices.
