Live Session 1: Comparing the cloud:
Starting Points:
• 17.7% of ISVs globally had 1 or more cloud based
products in 2012
• 48% of ISVs globally use 1 or more Microsoft
technologies, 12.9% use Oracle.
Questions to answer:
• Cloud by region: How do UK and/or Western Europe
cloud companies rank against US and/or global
• Cloud by ecosystem: Are Microsoft partners or Oracle
partners moving to the cloud faster than average?
• Cloud by segment: Which software segments and
industries move to the cloud the quickest, which ones
are less active?

Live Session 2: Cloud versus traditional ISVs
Starting Points:
• Revenue multiples stand at 3.5 for all ISVs on
average, but 6.75 for SaaS pure plays (public)
• Does a 20%+ growth justify this?
Question to answer: what drives that difference?
• Performance? How does Productivity, growth and
profitability in SAAS compared to traditional ISVs?
Impact of Sales & Marketing spend on growth?
• Perspective: Does a sample financial benchmark of
Netsuite against ERP software overall, against global
SAAS averages and against SAP and the overall
software industry tell us something
• Extremes: Does the Saas HR segment help us find
relationships between value, growth and profitability
Note: we will run most of the analysis live on the our
database, hence not all data are in this deck
