Investment themes
- Increasing exposure: New forms of advertising, search engine optimization, and data-driven marketing services are key drivers of e-commerce, and solutions integrating them with core business infrastructures are becoming increasingly important.
- Ensuring security: As more activities migrate online, criminals follow with increasingly sophisticated methods for breaching firewalls and thwarting security measures. Protecting core data assets without compromising accessibility is therefore a chief priority for providers of online services.
- Automation: Despite security concerns, enterprises are making increased use of SaaS solutions and technology-enabled services to simplify internal processes and conserve resources.
- End-to-end solutions: Application providers are gravitating towards complete solutions integrating workflows end-to-end, particularly in domains requiring significant levels of domain expertise and focus.
- Increased integration: APIs connecting third-party applications, components, and business services are generating new opportunities for cross-selling, vendor partnerships, and brand utilization.
