The software industry is going through a period of disruptive change. Technology enablers including cloud computing and rich web client capabilities, combined with new commercial models built around internet economics have created a likely tipping point towards web delivered applications and the Software-as-a-Service model.

Independent Software Vendors of all sizes need to assess these developments and position themselves for success in a very different future. But getting there is not necessarily easy or straight forward.

Servitizer was established to help product based companies develop and innovate using services. This trend from a product orientation to a product/service one is called servitization. The level of servitization that companies and industries are undergoing varies but the movement within the software product industry from a perpetual license model to a SaaS one is probably the most profound. It changes almost everything – the relationship and responsibilities of the client and vendor, the client base and market size, the underlying technology, the fundamental business model, the structure and skillset of the vendor organisation and the entire partnership ecosystem that surrounds them. Any software business considering moving towards a SaaS model, as they should, must fully understand all of the implications this involves. Servitizer has the expertise and the methodologies necessary to smooth this transition and avoid the many pitfalls such a disruptive change can present. In order for any software business to make an informed decision about whether, how and to what degree they should embrace a SaaS model they need to take on a new knowledge base and apply it to their own specific situation.
