Richard Spithoven

In this podcast I’m joined by Kylie Fowler and Brett Zurbrick to talk with Richard Spithoven about SoftwareONE’s recent acquisition of B-Lay.

The interview covers the SoftwareONE acquisition, market drivers after COVID and opportunities for new entrepreneurs. The most common questions asked of Richard after the acquisition were a) How will things work with SoftwareONE being an Oracle reseller? and b) Will you buy a boat or a sports car? We cover both of these topics on the podcast!

Agenda – Richard Spithoven Interview

  • The SoftwareONE acquisition
  • B-Lay working with SoftwareONE as Oracle reseller
  • The current SAM and License Management services market and trends for the future
  • Industry consolidation trends and audit activity during COVID
  • Opportunities for new entrepreneurs

The opinions expressed on the podcast are those of individuals and not their employers.
