Summary

Software has become a core part of daily business operations, revolutionizing how companies operate, grow, and serve their customers. The rise of specialized solutions for specific business needs is shifting the traditional bundled solution model, where organizations now use 40 different software subscriptions on average. This trend, known as the great unbundling, offers benefits such as choosing the best solution for each task, improving productivity, and reducing costs. As companies adopt niche software solutions, they can work around how their business operates rather than vice versa, leading to operational efficiencies and growth. The explosion of specialized software has also led to the development of purpose-built tools that precisely fit user needs, replacing traditional office suites and monolithic CMS platforms with headless CMS systems that allow for greater flexibility and customization.
