Bringing software to the cloud market: A look inside the process

Software powers the cloud. There are myriad software solutions that enable cloud providers to provide their bundle of services, but how do those solutions get to market and how do they get noticed by companies that need them? In this episode of the podcast, David Linthicum and guest, Tackle.io CEO John Jahnke, discuss how software vendors successfully bring their products to market. David and John break down the process of understanding market fit, establishing relationships with cloud vendors, and figuring out what success looks like. They also discuss remote working and how technologies that facilitate remote work help  the process of selling and how those technologies will remake the sales process.
