What story do the benchmarks tell this year? We’re excited to release our 2025 “Brief on SaaS Sector Operating Trends,” based on OPEXEngine’s updated proprietary benchmark data along with reported public company results from the Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP) Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index.
We’re excited to announce the release of OPEXEngine’s updated 2025 SaaS Benchmarks – now available to the OPEXEngine client community. OPEXEngine’s annual benchmarks have helped SaaS companies manage growth, efficiency, and cost structures with confidence for nearly 20 years. This year’s release follows an intensive data collection and validation process, built on anonymized inputs from SaaS companies and carefully vetted by our expert team.
In this episode of SaaS Conversations, Katherine Zhang, CEO and General Manager of OPEXEngine by Bain & Company, shares expert insights on building a high-impact RevOps function.
We’re thrilled to be featured in Bain & Company’s 2025 Global Private Equity Report. This year’s deep dive into Margin Growth in Software Investing highlights a critical challenge for investors: while expanding margins is a cornerstone of most software buyout strategies, actually delivering on those targets is another matter entirely. Bain’s analysis of 33 software buyouts found that while nearly all projected significant margin expansion, the majority fell short of their goals.
Written in partnership with Aura Intelligence, our latest white paper examines employee productivity across SaaS companies at varying maturity stages. This analysis leverages OPEXEngine’s extensive SaaS operating benchmarks together with Aura’s workforce insights and benchmarks on hiring, talent, and sentiment.
We are thrilled to announce that OPEXEngine by Bain & Company has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) standards for SOC for Service announcements (also known as SSAE 18).
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Katherine Zhang as CEO and General Manager and Adrian Kochan as VP of Benchmarking Strategy and Operations!
