There is a call to action reverberating in company boardrooms, earnings calls, technology conferences, and IT departments: every company should be a software company. The call makes intuitive sense. Software, when done right, creates infinite business leverage. It is not a coincidence that 7 out of 10 largest companies in the world are software companies. But how does a company become a software company? This book will help enterprises transform into a software company. The software-driven future that Marc Andreessen predicted in his now-famous 2011 essay is here but unevenly distributed. While enterprises, and teams within, grasp the software technologies, they lack the context to leverage them — much less understand the fundamental principles that drive the business value from software: What is the real essence of the software-based transformation? If every enterprise is implementing the same technologies, what is the source of differentiation? How do you manage the inherent complexity of software such that it doesn't destroy software's value? How do you build and nurture talent so that it is empowered to create the best solutions for your customers' problems? This book will answer all of that and more. The boundary between enterprise and consumer software is rapidly blurring. IEEE reports that 40% of the cost of a new car comes from software . Elsewhere, software is becoming synonymous with medical devices and therapeutics . FinTech and EdTech trends are primarily about personalization through software at an internet-scale. The struggling enterprises are up against it. They have no choice but to figure out how to ship consumer-grade software. It is an existential problem for them. This book compiles the timeless principles of building good software, yet often disregarded while building and deploying software products for enterprises.

As the world shifts towards electric vehicles to combat the urgent issue of global warming, and as European policies prioritize recycling and repair over replacement, our research seeks to assess the feasibility of maintaining high-quality after-sales service for consumers. We are examining how companies like Mercury Marine can continue to meet these standards with their existing network of authorized service providers in Europe, who may no longer be aligned with product technology. For context detail, see chapter 1. For information about the company, see chapter 2.
Through the PESTEL framework, we gathered an in-depth knowledge of the contextual landscape of the after-sales services in the marine industry. We qualitatively evaluated Mercury Marine's relationship with its dealers (N=56) through the lens of Porter's Five Forces frameworks adapted by conducting customer research with a multilingual (N=9) online questionnaire among marine dealers and boat manufacturers (N=942) in the main European markets. We collected secondary data through Mercury Marine's dealer network (N=2.320) to evaluate the sales forecast and defective products of the Avator™. We conducted a second qualitative analysis and benchmarking study to assess the after-sales service policies of Avator™'s direct competitors. This involved conducting in-depth interviews (N=15) and examining adjacent industries (N=2). Based on our findings, we developed seven different scenarios. Refer to chapter 0 for the research findings. 
Finally, we build two distinct value propositions, tailored for both dealers and end-customers. Our innovative approach to the relationship offers unparalleled benefits to all parties. For value propositions, see chapter 4. Conclusion, see chapter 5.
