?

A solution to reduce time to sell for software vendors, in a dedicated and customized store or in a global marketplace, using a cloud computing environment. ClouDesire doesn't embrace a single product, technology or service, and expose full-stack API for a complete control of its behavior, to avoid vendor lock-in.
