Persistent development team.Due to its nature ISV usually does not have developers for customization of a product for specific needs of a customer
Say customer development vendor is on opposite side of software market.-CDV acquires customers through direct and active sales. Sales calls, direct mail, references, exhibitions. Main sales tactics is to find a decision making contact within an organization-Key factors to be successful are account management and personal contacts. Work with each account-Development process is focused to perform project with specific quality, during specific time and within specific budget. Project managers instead of product managers. Project manager keeps focus within specific project instead of planning of product development for years-CDV usually experiences pressure on wide market and forced to compete by price instead of expertise or quality
