Even in an uncertain economy, SMBs are expected to spend 10-20% more on software in 2023 than 2022 according to a recent study by Capterra. If your business has a software purchase slated for 2023 or beyond, how do you ensure that your investment successfully achieves your goals and does not set you back in progress or cash?
