Hacking SaaS: An Insider's Guide to Managing Software Business Success
Perpetual software licensing is dead.
In fact, today’s college graduates are unlikely to encounter it in their careers. That’s because software as a Service, or SaaS, provides the necessary customer insight companies need to innovate better and faster than their competitors—and it’s now the dominant business model for nascent and legacy software companies alike. The only problem? SaaS’s rapid rise resulted in a fragmented understanding of best practices for this dynamic, powerful business model.
Eric Mersch is here to change that.
Informative, in-depth, and inclusive, Hacking SaaS leverages Eric’s twenty-plus years of executive finance experience to become the definitive book on managing SaaS business models. Eric’s three-part compendium clarifies SaaS’s components and their relationship to financial metrics while empowering readers to unlock the power of SaaS, create strong data-driven cultures in their companies, and fortify business performance.

Written by a CFO, this book discusses SaaS specific financial metrics and represents a relatively new analytical science (over the past 5 or 10 years). I would recommend this book to anyone in SaaS including product & engineering -- it's one of those rare books that I'll likely re-read in another 6 months, just to make sure I've captured all of the information in my head.

El autor explica como modelar y medir el rendimiento de un negocio SaaS, y provee detalles para diferentes tipos de organización. La primera parte tiene todas las definiciones que se van a usar en el libro, y si las entiendes bien el libro es muy fácil de estudiar.
