How competitive is the UK software industry in providing SaaS?

Increasingly, mainstream software applications for both consumer and business are being delivered through the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. We at TechMarketView believe that this represents the forward path for pretty much all software application providers. Those not moving to SaaS/Cloud will be “legacy” solutions providers in the not-too-distant future. So how ready is the UK’s own software industry? Is it being left behind?

To understand the answer to this question, we devised a new model to assess Cloud capability and then analysed 25 of the most significant UK-headquartered software applications providers, to see how they stacked up. The short answer is: they did pretty well, overall but there was a considerable spread, from Laggards to Leaders. TechMarketView Foundation Service subscribers can get the full picture by downloading our report Software as a Service: Assessing UK Companies’ Cloud Capability.
