Case Study: Rally Software improves budgeting and planning with OPEXEngine Software Benchmarking

Why We Participate in OPEXEngine’s Software Benchmarking

Rally Software, a later-stage venture-backed SaaS company and leader in Agile Application Lifecycle Management, needed a better way to compare its performance against similar software companies and align its executive team and board around realistic budget and planning targets. The company turned to OPEXEngine and its Software Benchmarking service to get high-quality peer comparison data instead of relying on inconsistent or low-value benchmarks.

With OPEXEngine’s Software Benchmarking, Rally Software used benchmark data in its annual planning process, sharing comparisons with department heads and the board to support budget decisions. The result was a more data-driven, friction-free planning cycle, faster board approval, and better alignment on investments and targets; Rally also noted that 85% of the survey could be completed in about 30 minutes, with the remainder taking only a few hours, and that repeat participation should reduce input time to about an hour.
