Today the SIIA Software Division launched its new Affiliate Program. The new initiative aims to strengthen the software industry by bringing associations together to collaborate and share business intelligence.
The SIIA Affiliate Program, which already includes four participants, provides an opportunity for associations and groups to increase connections within the software industry and work together to improve and take advantage of networking opportunities, visibility, education, and training resources.
The first four members of the affiliate program are CloudNOW, the Irish Software Association, SVForum, and THINKstrategies. To inquire about joining the SIIA Affiliate Program, contact me.
