By: Charles Rattray, Director, Professional Services -Tideway Systems Inc.
Complex software products fall within three extremes: being perfect; littered with coding bugs; and flawed by poorly implemented business logic. Developing a Services revenue model which remains effective, while the organization transitions towards producing near perfect software, and provides early customers value around their product purchase, can be a challenge. This presentation will outline the issues involved, discuss how this impact the organization’s success, and how to model and size the Services organization to maximize services revenue from a developing product.
