In our exclusive webinar hosted by industry experts Joe and Karthik, we delved into the rapid evolution of digital marketplaces and how enterprises can harness innovative models to fuel growth.

Discover key insights on emerging trends in Marketplace-as-a-Service (MaaS), the game-changing impact of AI and APIs, and the growing importance of outcome-based engagement models for sustained success. Featuring expert perspectives from Forrester Research and real-world case studies, this session reveals how forward-thinking enterprises are cutting costs, increasing partner sales, and accelerating revenue through strategic marketplace initiatives.

Why Marketplace as a Service Matters?

As enterprises face rising complexity, Marketplace-as-a-Service (MaaS) offers a strategic advantage by reducing time to market, lowering operational risk, and enabling scalable partner ecosystems. MaaS shifts the model from platform ownership to outcome ownership, allowing businesses to deploy curated marketplaces rapidly while preserving brand and governance. In practice, organizations using MaaS report more than 40% growth in partner-driven sales and measurable ROI acceleration.

How AI & APIs Drive Growth?

AI and APIs are the enablers behind next-generation marketplaces. Intelligent services - including personalization, dynamic pricing, automated discovery - amplify partner reach and customer relevance. Through an API-first architecture, enterprises embed their offerings directly into partner channels, enabling significant uplift in partner sales and deeper market penetration. Together, AI and APIs transform marketplaces from transactional platforms into responsive, monetized ecosystems.
