If you’re a business technology user, you may have noticed a recent trend in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products: Many of them are becoming integrated platforms to interact with other business needs.
For as long as there’s been business technology, buyers have been forced to take a “best of breed” approach, selecting a number of specialized products to address different needs. SaaS products have been no different. They have traditionally offered specific solutions for specific use cases.

The idea is to help the customer by consolidating multiple buying decisions and oversight of these business tools down to one choice: the SaaS platform.

For a few years now, there have been rumblings that virtual assistants might actually start talking to one other. And in a pretty hilarious feat, people have figured out how to literally get Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant to chatter together in an endless loop. While this was entertaining, it’s the real-life partnership that Amazon and Microsoft have formed to have their virtual assistants truly talk to each other that is worth paying attention to.
Both companies are enabling Microsoft’s business and productivity-focused Cortana to engage with Amazon's consumer- and ecommerce-focused Alexa. A command of “Cortana, open Alexa” will enable Microsoft users to do things such as control smart devices in their homes, or access any of the other third-party skills available on Alexa such as making a payment on a credit card, ordering a pizza or even turning their Anova Precision Cooker up a few degrees.

The last two years have seen varied quality in the digital experiences offered by traditional incumbent mortgage brokers and the new breed of digital-first challengers. Leaving aside for now the wider questions around robo- and AI-driven advice, these new challengers have generally made it easier for user to input and source information in clean user experiences.
The question of why so many incumbent brokers are falling behind, and how they can catch up without having a deep budget is a compelling one.
A common theme when speaking with challenger companies is how they have fully embraced modern user experience design processes. These are new ways of working that any organisation can adopt with little financial cost if an agile mindset is embraced.
