What Is This Ominous Web and Service Cloud You Speak Of?
From 2005 on something interesting is happening. The web is
finally becoming the service and applications platform that it was
envisioned in which thankfully was not paleo-future. It is here. However it is changing. Computers are going to multiple processors, and data and content are taking to the web cloud.
We Have the Consumer Tools that Run
in the Web and Service Cloud
We have tools for
small to medium business, agencies, individuals
and developers to help with the new
cloud based nature of the web where everything
is syndicated and a service. Somehow
people need to aggregate that data
to be able to run businesses on it.
Products, information and networks
to keep track of create challenges
in today's competitive online markets.
Consumer tools we currently have as our 'products' stage
- as2commerce - a purchase order,
invoicing, shipping, receipt and non
repudiation EDI system based on the
AS2 (Applicability Standard 2 - HTTP)
and EDI-INT over the web. This is based
on common market platform standards
such as TripleDES, SSL, x509 Certificates,
Encryption, Digital Signatures and
Secure Transmission of mission critical
data for small to large business. We
have a service model for small business
and a larger enterprise solution for
AS2 enabling your enterprise. The current
productized version is in .NET C# for
2.0 and 3.5 but in projects this is
also running on Java 6. In labs we
have an AS3 version for smaller docs.
So we are enabling this tool to be
able to run in many platforms. The
service model version is running on
.NET.
- smbcommerce - more on this soon.
Product Nebula - About Our Iterative Product
Vetting Process
Products at drawcode have a process that helps
to filter good marketable ideas from design to
code to market through a three stage process.
Stage 1:
- Individuals at our location or working
with us get ideas and play around with them usually
in some new technology or a way to make current
technology better. Then they put them in the
lab. This is where more work and interest can
be gained. Some stuff works, others are good
in 6 months to a year, others are just for fun.
- These items are given LAB status and appear
in labs.
Stage 2:
- More individuals, external interest or work
on this project or idea either in direct work
or elaboration and business tests to see that
it is marketable.If so it is turned into an
official project.
- These items are given PROJECT status at drawcode and appear in project
.
Stage 3:
- The project either has successive alpha programs
or has been used and evolved from client projects
into something marketable and usability ready
for the real test, boom, pow, bang, the worr-r-rld.
- Usually
these products are in late stage alpha or beta
with with users that have been using the product
for at least 6 months in live business.
- These items are given PRODUCT status at drawcode
and appear in products.
All this can happen in the window of 6 months
to 2 years. For a successful dedicated product
launch it takes this amount of interest and time
to verify good ideas and test their true marketability.
This is how why you can count on the product
development process and implementation at drawcode
from our creative engineering and software simplification
process that have successfully researched and
help launch the early iterations of multiple
other companies and products.
