The Software Industry of NH

SwIX is committed to promoting and growing the software industry in New Hampshire. We do this by enabling our members to share ideas and learn from experts and each other. Members benefit in three key ways, which are supported by the programs, events and seminars we schedule throughout the year.

New Hampshire is the home of a surprisingly robust capacity for development and use of software. The public and private sectors work well to capitalize on this vibrant economy. Some statistics that show the results of this great partnership are:

Supply

• There are over 400 producers of software in the state according to our research.
• There are over 1400 IT professionals in the state according to the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security.

Demand

• New Hampshire has been clocked one of the states with the fastest Internet connection speed (8th), according to a 2009 study by the Communications Workers of America.
• New Hampshire software has been sold in over 20 countries around the world according to the New Hampshire Office of International Commerce and is available in many more because of its Internet connectivity.

• 
  

  NETWORKING

  Talk to peers about the challenges and solutions to finding good employees, solving development or process issues, finding who provides the best services for accounting, legal, marketing or other businesses that focus around software companies. Throughout the calendar year, we provide events that enable this kind of sharing and collaborating.

  EDUCATION

  SwANH organizes events aimed at informing its members about the latest technology, development processes, best practices in running businesses and more. Seminars and guest speakers are scheduled throughout the state during the year.
