Member Testimonials
"For large companies like IBM, the SIIA provides great connections to important 'rising star' companies that we want to partner with, and provides a range of opportunities for us to discuss leading edge topics that are critical to our industry. The SIIA also does an outstanding job on the public policy front, which is critical to ensure we maintain the policies that fuel the innovation our country depends on."
Michael Riegel, Vice President, ISV & Developer Relations, IBM Software Group
"We joined the SIIA to network with top executives from the industry's top SaaS and Cloud ISVs. With industry leading events, in depth webinars, and highly targeted executive roundtables, our SIIA membership has delivered a strong ROI for us year after year."
Simon Peel, SVP, Strategy & Marketing, Cast Iron Systems
"If you are serious about the software industry and your company’s role in it, then you'll want to be a member of the SIIA. We highly value the SIIA's industry representation in Washington DC. However, it is the unique peer forum for the exchange of ideas and the development of sales and marketing opportunities that seals the deal for us. Continuing SIIA membership is just good business and an important part of our marketing and strategy mix."
Richard Dym, Chief Marketing Officer, OpSource, Inc.
“The SIIA offers a unique opportunity to interact with compelling tech-enabled businesses across a range of specialized domains and industry verticals.”
Chris Hoffmann, Senior Principal & Research Director, TripleTree, LLC
“SIIA is more than an Industry Association or an advocacy group, it is a real community of software and information professionals. It has been my experience that the biggest single benefit our company has received from being associated with SIIA has been the opportunity to collaborate directly with leadership across the software, information, and content marketplaces. In particular, we have had new hires, new clients, and new projects which have stemmed directly from the friends we have developed working in close contact with SIIA. It is hard to put a value on such a network or an organization.”
Stephen Leicht, EVP & COO, Collexis Holdings Inc.
"As an active SIIA member, our organization is able to gain greater insight into what's happening in the software community and broaden our visibility among industry peers."
Bill Loss, CEO, WebApps, Inc. a.k.a SaaS.com
“Joining the SIIA and actively participating in its many programs has been a great win/win partnership for Saugatuck Technology.”
Bill McNee, Founder and CEO, Saugatuck Technology
“SIIA membership has been an essential part of OpenAir’s success. There is no better place to meet the leaders in the industry and make our opinions known, as well. One example of SIIA leadership is the CODiE’s -- the academy awards of the software industry. We won the award for Best Business Software Solution of 2008 – the CODiE version of Best Picture – and two months later we were NetSuite’s first acquisition in the SaaS space. We are enthusiastic participants in all aspects of SIIA and couldn’t recommend it more strongly to others.”
Morris Panner, CEO, OpenAir, Inc., a NetSuite Company
