Engaging with the future
The ISV community creates solutions that solve some of the world’s biggest challenges – from analysing crime scenes using IoT and machine learning (like Black Marble's tuServ, built on Microsoft’s UWP), to helping diagnose cancer patients with data analytics and augmented reality (see Yellowfin’s partnership with Volpara).
The challenge for Microsoft is engaging with a community that prides itself on being ‘solution first, vendor second’ and where revenue recognition is not instantaneous, or easy.
With “Drive ISV Momentum” one of the six priorities set by Judson Althoff, Exec VP, Worldwide Commercial Business at Microsoft, ResourceiT has been called upon to help Microsoft and its ISV community exploit the opportunities of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ (4IR) together.
