Kufikiri Kuhusu Bidhaa Commercial

Mimi kuweka SharePoint Designer upanuzi wa mradi hadi saa CodePlex mapema mwaka huu na hata ingawa ni kweli kabisa mdogo katika upeo, Mimi makisio kwamba imepakuliwa na 40 kwa 60 (pengine hata 100) companies in just about two months. That indicates to me that there’s a market for that solution and if I were to successfully commercialize it, ambayo inaweza kutafsiri katika kiasi mzuri ya bia 🙂

Background yangu ni kweli zaidi katika maendeleo ya bidhaa na mimi najua ni nini wanatakiwa kuleta bidhaa juu-notch, kinyume na mradi hobby CodePlex, to market. In my kipindi cha maisha, Mimi alikuwa na wajibu wa bidhaa R&D for all software products. The difference between then and now is that I’m a consultant now working for an (bora) kampuni ya ushauri (Conchango). Hapo awali, Mimi nilikuwa na kampuni nzima nyuma yangu na mbele yangu, selling and supporting the products we brought to market. Leo, Ningependa kuwa peke.

Nina mawazo kadhaa bidhaa katika akili, but I think the easiest would be to create a commercial version of the above-mentioned CodePlex project that uses that as a starting point and extends it further. My fuzzy off-the-cuff thinking is to charge something like $100 kwa ukomo developer leseni na $500 per production web front end. I think I would also give away the source code.

Kama una mawazo au uzoefu kwamba uko tayari kushiriki, tafadhali kuacha maoni au email yangu moja kwa moja. I’d like to hear opinions like:

  • Je, ni vyema?
  • Vitendo mapendekezo kwa ajili ya masoko, kukusanya fedha, kusambaza.
  • Bei.
  • Kusaidia.
  • Maoni yoyote nyingine Ningependa kuondoka.

It’s "easy" kuja na mawazo ya bidhaa na kutekeleza yao, though many dozens of hours of work are required. The other stuff is not as easy for me.

    Hi Paulo,
    I’m a contractor in UK but have written a number of Sharepoint add-ons that are available for download and purchase, some have been available for a few years now.
    Kama Sharepoint huenda tawala nadhani sina kweli vigumu kupata!
    You learn loads and its fun, lakini mgumu yake kufanya hai nje yake.
    Bidhaa wazo na maendeleo ni rahisi.
    Some tricky bits;
    – Watu wanataka vitu kwa ajili ya bure! Mimi kubadili <10% wa downloads kwa mauzo.
    – Mauzo na Masoko.
    – Utoaji na Malipo.
    – Kuanzisha.
    – Demo na mfano Live Leseni na kanuni za kutekeleza hilo.
    – Magogo na debugging kwa msaada.
    – Sharepoint can be configured/installed in Soooo many differnet ways. you have to test/support all of them.
    – Kusaidia, kusaidia, kusaidia. Once you release a product you will be inundated by people with descriptive questions like ‘Its not working’. No offence but most times the user is pretty stupid and nearly always the problem is nothing to do with your code, but something completely unrelated. Even so it can take hours /days to figure this out and you have to do it remotely. The cost of servicing support calls will soon wipe out the $100 kununua bei.
    Mawazo yangu…if you could sell a product without any support it would work.
    Vinginevyo unahitaji programu muuaji au unahitaji malipo zaidi.
    Bahati nzuri.

    Hi Paulo
    Mimi niko katika hali sawa na wewe mwenyewe ingawa nina huru, Mimi hata hivi karibuni kukamilika baadhi ya ushauri juu ya Conchango niaba nchini Uingereza. Ningependa kuwa kweli nia katika maoni yoyote ya kupata kutoka kwa post hii kama mimi pia kuwa na hamu ya soko la bidhaa (bado kuandikwa) karibu jukwaa WSS / MOSS. Wewe hit msumari juu ya kichwa, product ideas and implementation is indeed the "easy" sehemu.
    Bora wa bahati,
