ISV (Independent Software Vendor)

An Independent Software Vendor (ISV) is a company that develops and sells software applications, but operates independently of hardware manufacturers or large software companies. ISVs create programs for specific markets or needs, such as accounting software, mobile apps, or industry-specific tools. They often provide their products to customers directly or through partnerships with larger companies. ISVs play a crucial role in the tech ecosystem by offering specialized solutions that enhance the functionality of existing platforms or serve niche markets.
