SaaS Model Assessment- A DEA Approach

Abstract

The Software as a Service (SaaS) industry is expected to experience growth in the coming years for these reasons. These include the rising demand for affordable and adaptable software solutions, the popularity of cloud computing, and the increasing trend of work. In a study comparing the 11 SaaS providers using DEA SBM analysis Aspen Technology Inc, HubSpot Inc, Rapid 7 Inc, and Ring Central emerged as the most efficient company. These research findings offer a framework to assess the efficiency of leading SaaS providers. By adopting this approach, businesses across sectors can gain insights into market trends, identify opportunities that drive digital transformation efforts, and foster creativity. Individuals interested in this field can leverage this methodology to evaluate the success of leading SaaS companies.
