Notes de l'éditeur
- So, as software developers, we really should be doing for our customers what we prefer ourselves.
- In the cloud, as-a-service world, with a freemium (sign up for free and try it) model or a time-trial model, it’s different. First of all the evaluation cycle is short. People try it out and decide without ever talking to you or a salesperson whether they want to invest more in it. Once they get serious, they might move to different tiered pricing that is tied to the level of usage, users, or something. In this world, Marketing’s more traditional activities are to drive the leads from anonymous visitors into known users. The other parts are now engaged in by people with different titles – evangelists, growth hacker (a trendy silicon valley term!), and customer success managers.
- Let’s make it more concrete by using CloudBees as an example. What we’re interested in is how people are using our service. Part of that is: what service are they using – like “what software has someone bought” in the old packaged software world. But more specifically, we want to know how engaged they are. Are they doing builds? Are they deploying new apps on a regular basis. Are they adding new users?
- But in our as-a-service world, we can so a lot better job. (Forgive my making a garbage collection joke here on the slide by using name of object spaces and collectors!) In our world, we have people who sign up but don’t’ do anything after looking around. We classify them as “onboarding”, and we engage with them differently than we do with those who dig in and actually start to use the service.
- But probably more importantly, once someone has stepped up to paying for the service, we have an opportunity to keep them happy using it in ways that are obviously just not possible with packaged software. Of course, part of the trick here is to know your audience, which being mostly developers, just want to be left alone.
- And this gives us some data that helps us determine where to put our investments. Now this changes because we roll out new ClickStarts every week, and some are accompanied by more visibility than others, but this is actual data we also share on our developer blog. What you can see here is that Play is very popular on CloudBees, as are the traditional Java stacks mixed with JavaScript UI frameworks like Backbone. Node.js is also popular, primarily because people want to find out what it’s about as far as we can tell. At any rate, we’re getting better at sorting out causality on these technologies as we go along. Today the data is there, but it’s hard to interpret.
