In a decade since Marc Andreessen’s famous Wall Street Journal op-ed “Software is eating the world,” much has indeed transpired. The broad shift in technology and our economy towards software has taken place. Today, software is a critical component of almost every business, almost to the point where we can think of every business as a software business!
Enterprise software, and in particular software as a service (SaaS), has become a key peg in this digital transformation journey. There are many established large enterprise software companies. Hundreds more are perhaps founded each year. What drives this interest in enterprise software? What’s the state of the union when it comes to SaaS technologies and their adoption? How are established companies and upstarts coexisting in this highly dynamic area? What is at the absolute forefront of enterprise software?
To help us answer these questions, we sat down with Frank Wang, Engineering Director at Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) Frank is an entrepreneur with hands-on experience creating software solutions, growing engineering teams, and developing go-to-market strategies. He’s seen the evolution of SaaS up close for more than a decade, between his time at startups and software behemoths.
In this interview with 7investing, Frank gives us his impression of where SaaS is in the adoption curve and delves into the pace of innovation at smaller companies versus established corporations. We discuss what areas are at the forefront of software right now and discuss some areas Frank finds exciting outside of software. We finish up with a discussion of 3 stocks Frank likes right now and why.
