About the Book

The rapid globalization of the software industry, combined with ease of software distribution worldwide, has transformed the industry into a vast network of alliance relationships. By partnering with resellers, system integrators, and others, a software company can extend its reach to customers in markets and geographies that would otherwise be closed to it, or accessible only at great expense and effort. But the actual structuring of a software alliance has often been a hit-and-miss proposition ...until now. Written by a seasoned intellectual property lawyer, "Creating Software Alliances" takes a comprehensive yet detailed look at how a software alliance agreement can be drafted to maximize profits for the software vendor. By analyzing the critical provisions of an alliance contract on a clause-by-clause basis, "Creating Software Alliances" promises to: reduce the time and expense of negotiating software partnerships; and provide software companies of all kinds with the tools to strengthen their alliance relationships. "Creating Software Alliances" also addresses the art of managing software alliances; revenue recognition issues that may arise; and special considerations when software companies expand overseas. It is a must-have resource for every executive and professional interested in making software alliances work.
