# Enterprise SaaS Company

*/CompanyTypes/Enterprise_SaaS_Company*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.9
**Rationale**: With no child job types seeded, the scalar is derived entirely from the company type name and lens. An 'Enterprise SaaS Company' is a software company whose value-producing work consists of software development, digital product management, and remote sales/support, mapping to a purely digital environment. I assign a high digital band-center value of 0.90.
