A message from our CEO

The SaaS and cloud industry is a place of constant change.  To scale your business for long-term sustainable growth, you need to continuously update your understanding of what good looks like both at your current stage of growth and the stage you want to be.  

Having led multiple strategy and operations teams through periods of high growth and strategic realignment, I have experienced firsthand the impactful role that clear and pertinent benchmarks play as you make the critical decisions on where to allocate your resources.  

Our goal at OPEXEngine is not just to provide you with benchmarks from our extensive database.  We also partner closely with you to ensure you are prioritizing measuring the most valuable metrics in the most effective way to drive your business goals.

A message from our Founder

After 20 years in the tech industry in Europe and the US, one lesson that helped me build fast-growth operations is using the right benchmarks to drive improvements with my business and my team. And driving growth and efficiency with data-driven management is key to the success of every tech company.

Benchmarking helps you prioritize where you are good and where you need to focus. It gets the whole team on the same page in terms of priorities, which makes the company agile and resilient, and able to rise above the competition.

When we started OPEXEngine, there were no reliable benchmarks for SaaS companies.  There had to be a better way than relying on anecdotal word of mouth and random internet benchmarks. We built a secure, cloud-based platform where companies could share their operational metrics confidentially and securely and get back useful aggregate benchmarks to improve operational decision-making and business outcomes dramatically.

We are proud of the industry leaders that we’ve helped:

- 70% of SaaS companies that have had an IPO in the US over the past 10 years benchmarked with OPEXEngine.
- We regularly identify more than 20% variance against peer benchmarks in key metrics for the companies we work with.
- We’ve helped companies that regularly benchmark with us improve key performance metrics like Rule of 40, EBITDA, Magic Number, R&D ROI, and Employee Productivity.
- We’ve helped hundreds of PE and VC-backed companies identify value creation opportunities and helped them monitor their performance as they executed to improve valuations.

We’ve seen the transformational success SaaS companies achieve when they ditch guessing games and pulling random data from the internet. And instead, rely on validated benchmarks through a proven methodology and from a company dedicated only to producing the best benchmarks in the industry.
