For independent software vendors, leveraging a multi-cloud strategy means getting listed on multiple cloud marketplaces such as Azure, AWS, Salesforce AppExchange and Google Cloud.
By listing on multiple cloud marketplaces, ISVs can unlock new revenue opportunities, tap into new industries, and drive lasting cloud marketplace success.
