A product based company has its own product, it can be either one or it can have more than multiple products.

Like Google’s product, it does not work for any company but works directly on direct users. You will mostly see that the product based company business is the customers who reach the direct customers. And there are also companies such as Cisco, Adobe, which customers are big businesses, as if they have made a product, then the customer will also use it. This is  called product based companies.

What is IT service?
