A Year in the Life of an ISV

Most software developers sooner or later look at something they’ve created and think “We should make a product from this!”  Find out real world lessons about what it takes to create & market a software product as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) including:

  • Moving from ideas to products
  • Marketing in the Internet Age
  • Growing Revenue and Controlling Costs

Presented by one of the founders of Gibraltar Software, we break down some of the commonly held myths around software product so you can learn from our mistakes and get a look into the reality behind the dream.
