Similarly, opportunities for vertical-specific SaaS solutions vary across and within the industries surveyed. Healthcare, insurance and retail industries currently have the highest level of SaaS-based VSS already deployed. Healthcare (49 percent) is also ranked by respondents as the top industry planning to consider SaaS in the future, followed by banking and securities (45 percent) and federal government (42 percent). Popular VSS solutions where SaaS will be considered going forward in these industries include medical coding/transcription and physician electronic medical health records in healthcare, core banking and related services in banking and securities, and case and records management in federal government.
"There are significant variations of VSS SaaS deployed both across and within industries surveyed. Many that have delayed consideration of SaaS for VSS until now, such as federal government and banking and securities, plan to use it in the future," Anderson said. "Providers planning to target VSS SaaS opportunities should analyze current and planned future deployments across and within industries, as experience and interest levels vary and are shifting rapidly."
