How the ISVWorld
taxonomy works
ISVWorld uses a three-level hierarchy to organize software companies from broad markets down to specific product categories.
A Segment represents a broad software market or business function. A Sub Segment narrows that market into a more specific area. An AI Classification identifies the individual software product, capability or use case associated with a company.

Frequently asked questions
How does the ISVWorld taxonomy work?
ISVWorld organizes software vendors from broad Segments into narrower Sub Segments, then into AI Classifications that describe what a product does and where it fits in the software market.
How are Company Tags different from taxonomy classifications?
Company Tags describe vendor characteristics that cut across the taxonomy, such as business model, delivery model, market focus, monetization signals, and other company-level attributes.
What are software ecosystems?
Software ecosystems identify the platforms, partner networks, marketplaces, technologies, and commercial environments a vendor belongs to or builds around.
Can I use taxonomy, tags, and ecosystems together?
Yes. Combining taxonomy categories with Company Tags and ecosystem signals helps create more precise software-company segments for search, prospecting, market mapping, and partnership analysis.
