Responses

A number of studies indicate

that integration is a major

obstacle in the deployment

of Software-as-a-Service

(SaaS), but none have

examined the integration

problem from the perspective

of the SaaS provider.

For the second year in a

row, MuleSoft teamed up

with THINKstrategies to

quantify the impact SaaS

integration has on the

SaaS provider. These are

the results.
