For the last fifteen years, we lived a simple dream: for every business problem, there was a SaaS solution. Need a CRM? There’s a SaaS for that. HRM? SCM? BI? A click and a credit card away.

This dream has become a nightmare.

The average enterprise is now juggling over 100 different SaaS applications. Instead of a streamlined operation, we’ve created a Frankenstein’s monster of disconnected tools. Every tool is its own data prison. Every new integration adds another layer of friction.

The numbers from your own organization probably look familiar: our research shows critical insights are locked in these disconnected silos, and a staggering portion of the budget is wasted on shelf-ware and integration maintenance.

Now, a new pressure has arrived: AI.

Every incumbent SaaS vendor is rushing to bolt AI features onto their legacy platforms. This is a fool’s errand. You can’t build a truly intelligent system on a foundation of disconnected data and fragmented workflows. It’s like trying to put a Formula 1 engine into a horse-drawn carriage. The result is slow, expensive, and fragile. Bolting on AI is much slower and infinitely less effective.

The solution isn’t another SaaS tool. The solution is a new architecture.

It’s time for the Composable Enterprise.

A Composable Enterprise isn’t a collection of rigid, pre-packaged applications. It’s a flexible, adaptable system built from modular components, like LEGOs. Instead of being forced to buy an entire suite for one function you need, you compose the exact capabilities your business requires, when it requires them.

But composability alone isn’t enough. It must be built on an AI-native foundation.

An AI-native system is not one that simply uses AI; it is one that is architected around AI from the ground up. At Singular, we’ve built this system around three core layers:

• The Semantic Layer: A unified data foundation. A shared language that breaks down silos and allows all your data - from CRM to ERP to SCM - to be understood in context.
• The Intelligence Layer: A central brain that understands your business. It runs on your unified data, powering predictive analytics, automation, and real-time insights across every function.
• The Experience Layer: Adaptive interfaces that evolve with your workflows. Instead of forcing your teams to adapt to a hundred different tools, the system adapts to them.

This isn’t a theoretical exercise. We’re already doing it.

We worked with SDC, a leader in clinical trials, to transform their operations. They went from 12 disparate tools - Excel, Sharepoint, task managers, and more - to one unified clinical intelligence platform built on Singular.

The results?

• Studies that used to take months now wrap in weeks
• Unlocked massive hidden value from data already sitting in their systems
• The entire platform was composed and operationalized in just 3 months.

As Bharath Donthi, SVP at SDC, told us, “What used to take us months of manual data reconciliation now happens near instantly. The insights we’re getting are game-changing.”

We believe, the era of SaaS sprawl is over. The future of the enterprise is composability. As Jason Jacobs, former Runkeeper CEO and Venture Capitalist, puts it:

It’s a serious threat to incumbent SaaS vendors because it enables clients to rip out a large percentage of their current stack, eliminating waste, and unlocking unprecedented agility.
