Jun Yang As businesses increasingly rely on a multitude of tools and systems, the challenge of integrating disparate software solutions has become a significant hurdle for IT teams. With the average company utilizing around 130 SaaS apps, according to Statista, the complexity of managing these applications is impacting productivity. A recent poll by MuleSoft revealed that 80% of companies face app integration challenges, leading to data silos and disjointed operations across departments.
Addressing Integration Challenges
Michael Zuercher, founder of Zuercher Technologies, experienced the integration struggle firsthand while managing his first startup. Recognizing the complexities involved, he co-founded Prismatic in 2019 to tackle the unsolved problem of software integration. Prismatic aims to streamline app integration development, particularly for business-to-business (B2B) SaaS companies, enabling them to seamlessly connect their products with existing third-party software used by their customers.
