Solutions for Software Vendors

The Software Vendor Challenge

Software vendors (ISVs) are under pressure to provide manageable applications. Customers are becoming more savvy, and demand to be able to manage and configure the applications they buy into. Applications with poor or non-existing management interfaces are harder to sell, slower to deploy and upgrade, and incur mounting costs in support and services.

Providing applications with these capabilities through in-house code development entails high costs and a constant chase after new application features and configurations. As a result, many software vendors look for a way to replace inadequate management interfaces and cut internal costs in support and deployment of their applications - without engaging in large off-focus development efforts.

Application Management must-haves for ISVs include:

• Rich, customizable user interface for viewing and editing the application's configuration
• Validation rules to prevent misconfigurations at any (parameter- to application- ) level
• Abstraction of business entities, hiding low-level details
• Snap-on deployment with existing applications, code and configuration resources
• Snapshot of configuration at customer site for analysis at support department
• Wizards and scripts for simplifying complex configuration tasks
