How many ISVs (independent software vendors) does Symantec have?

[jackb09]

Many large IT, software companies have independent software vendors that sell their software through the large companies like IBM or Microsoft. Does anyone know how many Symantec has?

Hello,

While I do not know of an exact count of ISVs we do have a listing on our PartnerNet portal.

http://partnernet.symantec.com (click the "Programs" tab)

Symantec offers several types of partner programs - I believe you are looking for the "Global Strategic Partners"

Other large vendor partners are listed in our "Symantec Technology Enablement Partners" (STEP) program.

Hope this helps!
