The software industry derives its strength from its extensive ecosystem of vendors, services, investors and professionals who work together to deliver technology solutions to customers. Productive relationships between these players – especially between the megavendors, mid-tier vendors, and startups which create the software itself - are critical to a productive ecosystem.
“Alliance” at Software 2007 provides a forum for major software vendors to gather with small and mid-size players to discuss issues impacting the success of the ecosystem.
Participation in Alliance is by invitation only.
