"Mistakes in all businesses cost us time and they cost us money. Arguably, in the technology world, the mistakes that we make are potentially larger, faster, more money losing than any other business at all. It's important to try and avoid them as far as possible. Bill Gates is quoted as saying that it's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure."
"Community, things like QCon, meetup groups, other conferences, communities of practice, they've always been very important to me throughout my career. I think community allows us to heed the lessons of failures that other people have made before we get the opportunity to make those mistakes ourselves. What I'm hoping to do is to share some of those mistakes that we see fairly commonly in the SaaS landscape, in the hope that you can avoid those in your own building."
"SaaS (Software Sold as a Service) I just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page about SaaS. SaaS is software sold as a service. It's typically based on the web or in apps. It's almost always these days hosted in the cloud because cloud and SaaS are a really good match for each other for a number of reasons. It's typically provided over the internet and billed on a subscription basis."
Mistakes in business consume time and money, and technology mistakes can be larger and faster, causing greater losses. Learning from others' failures reduces the need to repeat costly errors. Community forums, meetups, and conferences provide practical, experience-based lessons that help teams avoid common pitfalls. SaaS typically delivers software over the internet, often hosted in the cloud, accessed via web or apps, and billed on a subscription basis. Cloud and SaaS pair well for scalability and operational efficiency. Venture capitalists frequently favor SaaS business models due to predictable revenue and growth potential.
