Finding Software Companies

Finding the correct software companies can be a challenge.

Start with directories to identify products.

For example, if your software would be in a directory of products for college human resources, then start with a trade magazine that is targeted to the college human resources professionals. They might issue a buyers guide or have a directory. One way to find a valid trade magazine is to use Gale Directory of Publications and Broadcast Media http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?title=Gale+directory+of+publications
