It’s amazing to me how many people who work in the software industry are completely unaware about what OEM means.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging anyone here.  I am merely pointing out that OEM is ignored more often than not.  Which if you do understand the benefits of having an ISV-OEM strategy, clearly means that most software companies are missing out on a very profitable source of revenue.   

It’s more than just giving them the marketing and technical support they need.

The buy vs build decision for an ISV is one that is never taken lightly. And when the decision is made to embed your software solution into their product, they do so because they clearly have weighed the pros and cons of that buy vs build scenario.
