Abaksoft Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Dear Coleague, That right ! yes ? Mmm.... There are two ways to develop: custom and standard pack. I have touched both. Results : the custom pays with difficulty in countries like mine (Algeria) while the standard pack is accessible to all and has better profitability (small streams make great rivers). in short, what I want to tell you : The pack standard, cloud , Rental is the futur. I am asking my self : Why not developing some SAS, simple, multi-lang, accessible (20€/mouth), with thousand users. The idea is here. it will really be the consecration of many years hard work.

d.bernaert Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi, This is the option I am taking also. We have a large number of custom implementations based on Unigui in Belgium. Recently we started to focus on standard software packages working on subscription (https://wavedesk.be/en/welcome-en/). Recently the first platform was released (WAVEDESK CREDIT) and we are now building a knowledge base for it (https://credit.wavedesk.be/en/support/home). It takes a lot of time but i think in time it will be worth the effort. Now we are focussing on the commercialisation of the first platform, working on the knowledge base and are working on a second product for the real estate sector.

mierlp Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hi, Often you develop an application at the request of a customer (customization) but you actually already know that there is a larger market for it. Or you have an idea for an application that you can market yourself because you know there is a demand for it. At the moment you see a movement within IT where people move away from one-time purchase. Whether it's server/storage, multi-functionals (printer/copier) or applications. With goes from investment (capex) to operational costs (opex). For many companies, it is much more interesting not to make investments (pressures on the financial balance sheet) but to convert to monthly costs, comparable to leasing. For a car, telephone, multi-functionals this is already quite normal. Microsoft and Amazon started years ago with a subscription model where you pay for the use, number of users, etc. This allows you as a company to better manage your business. The disadvantage of this can be that, because you pay afterwards, the costs are higher than expected. In this case it concerns the use of server/storage. For software it is a lot easier. You come up with a subscription model per module/per user or whatever works for you. The customer now knows exactly what the use of the software costs but also what expansion in number of users costs. A subscription model compared to a one-time purchase of an application makes the threshold for the customer a lot lower. The customer would rather pay € 500 per month than have to make an investment of € 15,000. In 95% of all SAAS solutions offered are subscription based. You increase the reach of your application, your potential customers and also make it accessible by monthly payment. Regards Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
