Service Providers are ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) and MSPs (Managed Service Providers) who design, develop and deploy web-based business applications that connect information, people and processes in the AgileApps Cloud platform.
The key differences are:
- ISVs host the AgileApps Cloud platform on servers they manage, while MSPs use an ISV-hosted instance of the AgileApps Cloud platform
- Configuration options differ for ISVs and MSPs, because hosting is controlled at a different level
ISVs
An "ISV" (also known as an installer, or Service Provider) is someone who installs and administers the platform's Installable Version.
The platform's Installable Version lets you:
- Set up Collaborative Development Configurations
- Manage Tenants in a self-hosted environment
- Manage Tenant Capabilities to determine which tenants have access to which features
- Use Service Provider Settings to specify global settings that apply to all tenants
- Customize the user interface, support information and branding for tenants.
- Design custom application solutions for use by their tenants
It is also possible to:
- Set up a Default Tenant Database
- Set up a Global Tenancy to automatically share common data with tenants
- Learn more: Installable Version

- Operators of the Installable Version generally provide Customer Support to their Tenants
