Are you a consulting or advisory firm (eg accounting, bookkeeping or software consultancy)? Do you provide services that help companies to improve their operations? Do your customers ever ask you for independent software advice? If so, we should talk!
SoftwareShortlist.com is currently looking for alliance partners to help expand our unique service. Here’s the low down on how this may work for you…
- You get certified in software selection advice, extending your services capabilities for SMB customers.
- You get access to our proprietary methodology, patented tools and online products/resources to assist customers in selecting software.
- You get a service provider profile on the SoftwareShortlist.com website to get to new customers that you can service.
- Finally, you become a reseller for all of Software Shorlist’s online products. Earn commissions as you provide services.
- … and you earn more revenue by simply extending your offerings to existing and new SMB customers!
Sounds like an intriguing opportunity, don’t you think?
Of course, there are a few characteristics we are looking for in suitable candidates:
- Independent – you are not strongly aligned to a particular product or vendor and can keep an open mind in looking for appropriate software solutions
- Credible – you have a good reputation in your space, and your judgement and opinions would be trusted by those looking for software
- Capable – you have the capabilities to extend your services to advise customers on software selection
Interested companies and individuals are invited to review more details of our Certified Consultant Membership plan on our website. You may sign up directly or get in touch with us by emailing any questions to: partners@softwareshortlist.com.

Over the past few months Software Shortlist has experienced an increase in listings from IT consulting companies and service providers, in our IT Service Provider Directory. IT consultants often resell software on behalf of vendors, so they form a global Value Added Reseller (VAR) community around specific software products.
This increase in uptake has come about through a strong need for service providers to raise awareness of their specialist expertise and to generate qualified leads. Currently there are very few options available to assist SME customers in finding the most competent IT service providers for thier specific needs. And, conversely, there are very few options available to IT service providers who would like to make easy direct contact with interested SME customers.
In response to this demand, Software Shortlist has now signed up service providers across a number of competences. This includes CRM software, ERP software, Accounting packages, BI software and the like. Software products are now listed on our website from across all of these areas. This list was included in one of our recent News Postings.
If you know of any IT consulting organisation that may be interested in profiling themselves, to generate much needed contacts and leads, please let them know about our Service Provider Listing options.
Don’t make them wait until their competitors have already gained the upper hand!

A listing in the Software Shortlist directory is now even better value! We’ve just reviewed our rate card for Lite, Standard and Premium listings … and lowered our prices, effective from today. Basic listings remain free.
If you have software to promote, head over to our software directory and check out the benefits of upgrading your listing today. It’s never been more affordable.
We are also building up a directory of service providers and consultants who help install, customise and support particular software packages. Given the early stages of this offering, introductory pricing has been set at a very low setup fee plus only $1 per click-through. Compared to buying keywords, this represents exceptional value given the more targeted nature of the Software Shortlist audience. See this example profile. Qualified leads for prospective customers will also be available to purchase.
