Moving to a service model from traditional software sales means thinking about all kinds of things you didn't have to consider before, including: new go-to-market strategies, service quality, security implications, process definitions, integration issues, hosting, capacity, data storage, and scalability. 

 

USi's TopLineISV Program Can Help

 

USi's TopLineISV program gives Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) the immediate advantage of providing their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).  We help you every step of the way by providing an end-to-end solution that includes consulting and business advice—in addition to the resources and tools you need—to help you transform seamlessly to a service model.  Our SaaS enablement services give you everything needed to deliver a competitive SaaS product—at a fraction of the price of doing it in-house.
