In today's episode of The SaaS CFO Podcast, our host Ben welcomes special guest Paul Martin, an IT entrepreneur and founder of "equipment." Paul shares his insights on the importance of frictionless processes in today's business landscape, where failures cannot be fixed immediately.  
 
With his expertise in IT outsourcing and managing SaaS for mid-sized companies, Paul discusses the challenges faced by both clients and service providers in managing processes efficiently. He also sheds light on the growing significance of outsourcing services, devices, and software for businesses seeking cash flow flexibility and dealing with an expert shortage.
