Partnership type

Technology vendor

Software or a service the company buys and consumes internally. It is not a route to an end customer and it is not a capability the company resells.

How to tell it apart from the types next to it

The company buys something it uses itself, and none of its customers ever touch it. Look at who reaches the customer, not at how the deal is priced.

How it is usually paid. Licence, subscription, or per transaction fees paid by the company.

These are purchases. The software stays inside the company that bought it and reaches none of its customers, so it is listed here and counted nowhere on this site.
