About SVM

 
 

I’m Rick Malthaner and I am founder and principal consultant of SVM Consulting.

My mission, put very simply, is to use my years of experience and my vast network in the Point-of-Sale and Payments space to help ISVs and Resellers thrive.

A question I am often asked is: Where did your business name originate?

It comes from a Rush song: Mission.

"A spirit with a vision

Is a dream with a mission"

I firmly believe that spirit is the key factor in the foundation of any business. Everyone speaks to the importance of culture within a business, but culture can’t exist without the right spirit of the founder(s). And spirit cannot succeed without vision.

If you don’t have a vision of how you are going to achieve a goal, you will never achieve it. Once that vision comes into focus, you can’t lose.

Add Spirit and Vision together and you have the qualities necessary to convert a dream into a Mission.
