Do you see the value of edocr.com?

Image source: Problogger.net This article is inspired by a private tweet I received just now, which simply said “Can’t see the value…” when I queried a prospective customer “What’s stopping you use edocr.com for your group and the subsidiaries?”. I am the first to acknowledge that not everyone will buy a product irrespective of how good it is. But I like a challenge. Let me know by the end of this short article, whether you agree or disagree with me. Value of Social Networking Do you see the value of Twitter, Facebook and Youtube? I assume you do. Each of…

edocr.com at the heart of UK Election Campaign – Informing you to make the right voting decision

The general belief is that this year’s election will be won by TV debate, but the impact the Internet will make should not be underestimated after the successful campaign run by Barak Obama during the last US presidential election. On the forefront of Internet campaigns, you find YouTube, Twitter and Facebook used by each of the main political parties to complement their own websites. Given that these are US products, one wonders why no British technology company has emerged as a key contender for social debate during the UK elections, which started today. We are proud to bring your attention…

Splitting Movies

Have you ever tried to upload a movie file longer than 10 minutes to Youtube only to find out that they would reject it after upload is completed? Well I have. You cannot really blame Youtube for thier decision given that it is a free service. So the answer is to split the movie to files, each shorter than 10 minutes and upload. If you are looking for a tool to split your movie, suggest you try SimpleMovieX for Mac. I downloaded the trial version, and it works.

Strategy for maintaining multiple calendars

Life was easier when you had only one calendar to deal with. If you are like me, then you have made your life difficult by having too many unconnected calendars, causing misery! Here are a list of my calendars: iCal (MacBook) Google iPhone Salesforce.com Tungle.com I have added Tungle.com today, so that others who want to schedule a meeting with me could do so by finding out my availability. My tungle account is at http://tungle.me/manojranaweera The trick to all this is being able to sync. Tungle failed to sync with my iCal after many attempts even after Tungle crew came…

Value Chains – which component provides the biggest value?

As I just tweeted, working out the route to market is easy, working out the optimum pricing strategy is harder.

Perhaps you could help me find the answer! Our value chain: Exposure through edocr.com – edocr Essential is currently priced at £250 per annum (experience shows this is considered too low) Lead Capture within edocr.com – launch planned for 1st April Download sales leads from edocr.com – launch planned for 1st April Make…

Pricing right for sales lead integration with salesforce.com

Few weeks ago, I wrote about possible ways to integrate with Salesforce.com. The options explored included: Traditional web-to-lead forms API, especially as edocr.com is based on OAuth and salesforce.com now has OAuth capability App Exchange Since then, after much dialogue with salesforce.com employees, customers and partners, we have come to the conclusion, that App Exchange is the way forward for edocr.com. Having prepared edocr.com for lead capture over the last three months, we are now ready to start the integration work. Whilst the development team is busy with integration, I would like to share my thoughts on how we would…

Why am I rebranding Northern StartUp 2.0?

Northern StartUp 2.0 has come a long way since our humble start in November 2006. Whilst I enjoy running it, it has strained my resources heavily. Unless something is done, it’s sustainability is questionable in the medium to long run. So here are my reasons for repositioning: 1. It must generate income to compensate effort. 2. Lacks the collaboration between new and established technology companies: – Customers of early technology products are technology companies – Opportunities in joint ventures – Opportunities in acquisitions 3. It does not provide a mechanism for southern and overseas tech companies to break into the…
