It has been seen several times that organizations provide maintenance only after sudden asset failure or sometimes too much maintenance is provided to the asset. In these types of scenarios, the actual performance of the asset is not seen & calculated. Therefore, providing maintenance on time to assets is important.

For SaaS companies, the cloud plays a significant role in product creation and delivery. As one of the top drivers of COGS, cloud costs have a major impact on key financial metrics and can dramatically impact revenue and valuation.

Back when everyone was talking about the ‘new normal’ and what the future of work would look like post-pandemic, SquaredUp was having a rethink too. SquaredUp has always been a 100%, office-based company with a heart for bringing people together.
