the toughest challenges facing the tech industry

SAN DIEGO, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Technology & Services Industry Association (TSIA) launched a new research program to solve some of the most complex business challenges facing the tech industry. This program, dubbed TSIA Research Journeys, will combine in-depth research methodologies with modern business frameworks and the expertise of TSIA researchers and analysts to empower tech companies of all kinds toward sustainable profitability.

"The tech industry, especially SaaS companies, are facing the most difficult business environment of the past 20 years.
