Report: Enterprise Software
Current Trends and Figures

The new circumstances and challenges of Covid-19 have created opportunities for software services.

Businesses that are increasing their digital transformation efforts are looking to software tools to help them navigate the digital sphere; and moving into the cloud and need new solutions to do so. In addition, as working from home is becoming widely accepted, staff need remote access to their files and programmes, meaning a bigger platform for desktop virtualisation and file discovery. Meanwhile, retailers need webshops and apps now that their customers have become used to online shopping.

Digital implementations and high-functioning enterprise infrastructure are needed now more than ever, allowing software and SaaS providers to fill in the gaps. These, in turn, are attracting the attention of prolific acquirers en masse, who are looking to own or operate the next indispensable technology.
