Crossing the Enterprise Chasm

What's this blog post about?

Crossing the Enterprise Chasm is crucial for B2B Cloud SaaS apps to transition from early adopter users to larger enterprise customers. This leap can provide increased product defensibility, decreased customer churn, and expanded market size. However, it's a difficult process due to the complexity of implementing enterprise-ready features such as audit logs, Single Sign On (SSO)/SAML integration, and security policies. It requires significant investment in time and resources, but delaying this transition can result in competitors capturing the lucrative enterprise market segment first. To become enterprise-ready, B2B SaaS apps need to focus on visibility, control, and trust features that meet the requirements of IT administrators.
