Software and SaaS Benchmarking Reports

OPEXEngine provides high-quality, detailed benchmarking reports for software and SaaS companies. Benchmarking key metrics against your closest peers is the best way to red-flag areas where you might be under-performing. Conversely, it identifies areas of excellence where you are excelling and should continue to fully support.

Each year since 2006, OPEXEngine has conducted the annual software industry benchmarking of small and mid-sized software vendors with annual revenues of up to $350M. In 2010 we began partnering with the SIIA on our annual surveys, to expand the depth of our financial and operating metrics.

The Annual Software Benchmarking report includes comparative financial ratios and operating metrics by all participants overall, and various peer groups: by public and private companies, by recognized revenue volume, by average deal size, and by SaaS companies separated by sales volume. In addition, a group of “Profit Leaders” has been segmented to provide insights about the most profitable companies.

If you are a software company with revenues between $1M and $400M, then you should consider participating in the benchmarking survey. For less than the list price of the annual report, you get participant privileges plus a copy of the completed 2012 report.
