Welcome to ISVfocus.com
Hi, my name is Andrew Biss. I have been in the software industry for 28 years, of which 12 have been in the UK, 2 in France and 14 years here in Germany.
I have specialised in application development tools since my earliest days as an application developer and consultant. Since 1988 I have held senior management positions with Europe-wide responsibility for tool ISVs.
I focus on Platform as a Service and write the paasTalk blog on the emerging PaaS market. paasTalk provides independent news and views on PaaS, with an emphasis on the special challenges that face European ISVs moving to PaaS.
I founded ISVfocus.com Limited in 2007 to work with European independent software vendors (ISVs) planning to move to SaaS.
ISVfocus.com is 20 minutes from Düsseldorf airport in Germany; ideally placed to serve ISVs throughout Europe. However, I last had a corporate office 10 years ago, so I am comfortable with virtual teams…
Before founding ISVfocus.com I held senior management positions with Europe-wide responsibility for tool ISVs, including:
- VP International Business Development – Delta Software Technology GmbH
- VP Strategy and Marketing – Dynasty Technologies Inc.
- Development Group Manager – IBSI CASE Development GmbH
Please see Andrew-Biss.com for more details on each of the roles I have had over the years. You can also find details of my career on LinkedIn:
paasTalk: Platform as a Service news for European ISVs
The paasTalk blogis for European ISVs and helps them to evaluate, select and use Platform as a Service to build and deploy the next generation of SaaS solutions for their vertical niche.
paasTalk delivers the latest independent news and views on PaaS, with an emphasis on the cultural, legal, financial and technology challenges that face European ISVs moving to PaaS.
paasTalk is more technical than ISV Survival, but will not be getting into bits and bytes. The target audience is ISV development managers and those responsible for making the core platform and technology decisions for the move to SaaS.
ISV Survival: Helping B2B ISVs focus on trust
The ISV Survivalblog is about trust—the most critical part of SaaS for B2B ISVs. This blog delivers news, reviews and original content on SaaS trust.
ISV Survival covers service level agreements, dashboards, reporting, metrics, SLA tools and more.

Platform as a Service in Europe
Platform as a Service is the exciting and challenging next step for application development. I want to use my deep experience with development tools to explore new business opportunities with ISVs and PaaS suppliers. Please get in touch to discuss how we can work together to support PaaS in Europe. Thanks!
