Could This Healthcare SaaS Stock Be the Next Veeva Systems?
It's no longer a secret that the software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model has huge advantages. It costs next to nothing to give a new customer access; upgrades are the norm; and wide moats form via both high switching costs and network effects.
