Software-plus-Services Roadmap for ISVs

What if you could deliver what your customers want both online and on-premises?

Today’s software applications need to be accessible from anywhere, on a variety of devices. Simply building and delivering software for deployment on a desktop computer is no longer a viable business model. The industry is changing, and it’s changing fast. All this growth means big opportunity for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) building products for resale on the Microsoft platform. This site is designed to specifically meet the needs of ISVs growing and expanding their businesses to make the most of this opportunity.

Traditional on-premises software deployments are increasingly being supplemented with cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings. A software-plus-services model that embraces the best of both approaches is the next logical step in the evolution of software development. Microsoft supports this model with a platform of technologies that enable ISVs to combine the best aspects of both on-premises software and cloud-based services to deliver more compelling solutions to their customers.

Whether you are just starting to learn about software-plus-services, already have a product in development, or are preparing to take your product to market, learn about resources and support available to you.
