Making the Switch to a Software-Centric Business Model

Technology solutions providers face an increasingly complex task of integrating hardware and software to create differentiated value propositions. Simultaneously they have to contend with new competitors, who are unburdened by legacy systems, offering software-only cloud-based solutions to customers. Value propositions are shifting from the technology itself to user experience and application elements. To be effective in the current market landscape, organizations have to shift focus to a software-centric business model and rely on capable partners to deliver critical hardware solution elements.

With our ISV Software Solutions, Arrow makes it easy for hardware providers to make the transition to a software-centric business model.
