I am writing a book on how to find business problems and turn them into SaaS applications.<p>Would like to hear what kinds of problems HNers are facing in their companies.
Sorry, the biggest problems I face at the company I work for are bad management, cronyism, disfunctional leadership... mostly organizational problems that can't be solved by a SaaS.<p>Even worse, there are a LOT of improvements that could be made but management DOESN'T CARE. It's an oligopoly with huge barriers of entry (an insurance company), so as long as they're not worse than the competition and external factors stay the same, money will still come in.<p>BTW there's money to be made for software companies... selling bad, overpriced software, as long as the appropriate kickbacks and buddy-ism is followed.

Anyway, problems are real and can be useful for your needs.
I see your goals difficult to accomplish. If a business problem can be solved with an application that will be an easy one.<p>In general key business problems are really difficult to solve in the context of a particular problem. For example, I can't find employees in a specific niche because there are not enough in the market. How can I solve it? I can train people but that training would take a long time and I can't afford that risk.
"How to find business problems: ask on HN"?<p>I hope this does not get across as pure negativity, but I thought this is the exact question your book would answer.<p>On a side note, I think most business problems go unnoticed.
Here are hard problems all businesses face: making something people want, finding customers, keeping customers, growing customers.<p>If you can solve these problems for me, I'll pay you a lot of money for your book.
