"Find Your Cloud 9s with SaaS Apps", by long-time Managed IT Services owner Eric Magill, helps small businesses use vendor risk assessments to perform due diligence on critical SaaS vendors.
Drawing from Magill's 40+ combined years of journalism and Managed IT services experience, his VRA framework in Find Your Cloud 9s becomes a strategic tool that not only meets compliance requirements, but unlocks business value by choosing the right software the first time.
The VRA process overcomes the typical SMB resource challenges on major projects that result in 59% of small businesses suffering long-term business performance issues after selecting new software (Gartner, Software Buyer's Regret, 2024).
Multiple studies and articles have reported on the frustrations SMB decision-makers experience when choosing a SaaS provider.
Based on Magill's experience as a journalist and as owner of his Managed IT services business, Find Your Cloud 9s goes beyond comparing features, prices and reviews of potential SaaS vendors.
The book's modular VRA framework overcomes SMBs' traditional challenges of Time, Money and Knowledge by not only comparing those basic factors, but also the financial, compliance and security standing, legal footing, and corporate culture of SaaS vendors.
The book provides more than 700 questions and data points pertinent to SaaS vendors to populate your data gathering tools. If you hit a roadblock with a reluctant vendor, you can move through the others to populate your data gathering tools and find the actionable information you need to unlock business value, meet compliance requirements, and choose the right SaaS vendor.
