The Most Innovative SaaS Companies To Watch -2023

Rose
“ The
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry has
revolutionized the way businesses operate,
providing convenient and scalable solutions for a
wide range of needs. Behind the success of any company
lies exceptional leadership. Effective leaders in this
dynamic and fast-paced industry possess unique skills and
qualities that enable them to navigate challenges, inspire
their teams, and drive innovation. Peter Horwood, Founder
of ITIQPro, is one such effective leader.
When Horwood was ten years old, people started saying he
would be an entrepreneur. Recalling the past, Horwood
says, “I didn't think much of it, but along with my father's
excellent advice, I got a business degree (majoring in
business use of IT and information as well as taking even
more courses on marketing) and formed my first full-time
company while in second year University – which allowed
me to directly apply what I was learning to my business.”
Horwood began his journey in corporate solutions in 1980,
where he established a company that achieved an
impressive 75% market share in municipal accounting.
Concurrent with that, he had ventures in GIS development
before GPS technology became widely used. The seasoned
leader also developed a SQL network consisting of
numerous master-master databases across North America,
specifically for pipeline optimization. During the beta phase
of Mosaic, he deployed his initial website and server, which
served as a data source for his customers for the following
decade. This website replaced the bulletin boards that were
previously utilized.
