Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) have traditionally hired and retained their
own teams of developers. However, that can be an inefficient model when rapid
technology upgrades or migrations are required. Increasingly, ISVs recognize
that the inability to hire and train a large numbers of developers and deployment
professionals during a time of high demand can put them at a competitive
disadvantage. This represents an outstanding opportunity for independent
Systems Integrators (SIs) to provide the expertise necessary that can be cost
effectively turned-on and turned-off.
AIM services for SIs can help Systems Integrators to find and partner with the
ISVs in need of the specialized services your organization can deliver.
SI SERVICES IN DEMAND BY ISVs:
- Proof of concept development
- Application porting and migration
- Installed base migration
- New customer installations
- Training and support
AIM recognizes that ISVs have different services needs from end user customers
and our services for SIs are tailored to ensure that the compelling business value
an SI can bring to an ISV in their individual circumstances is clear to both
organizations.

What are your revenue goals?
What is the size of investment
necessary? How long can you
wait to become profitable?

What is the addressable market
size? How is it serviced today?
Who are the local and
international competitors? What is
your unique differentiation? Does
it apply to one segment or many
segments? Do you have

business etiquette? Is there a
preference for locally made?

Which applications and
platforms? Will you be offering
development and deployment
services? Do you have automated
conversion tools? Do you have a
repeatable service delivery
methodology? How are your
services differentiated?

Will you have a local office? What
proportion of your services can be
delivered off shore? What is the
