“These directories have hit the market at a critical juncture. Software companies realize that they need to offer SaaS solutions to their customers. However, that isn’t a core competency of the software company, so these directories can help the ISV identify the right partner – a company that is an expert at delivering software as a service. In that way, the ISV can stay focused on developing and selling innovative, high quality software.”
Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource, A SaaS Enabling Technology Vendor
