“SaaS has not killed the software market, but is growing rapidly and pressuring legacy providers to include SaaS options or risk losing market traction,” explains Laurie Wurster, research director at Gartner.

Purchasing a SaaS is an investment for your company, and whenever you decide to invest in a software you should review how it will impact your internal workflow while also reviewing if the software will help you reach your goals, you should look to invest in an influencer marketing platform if one or more of the following applies:
