Hi everyone, I've been a member of this group for the past month and have (shamefully) been slow to send through my introduction. However I have already greatly enjoyed reading through the discussion posts and look forward to attending one of the meet ups shortly.
As a short introduction, I am a manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers who is on a career break to pursue the highs and lows of a bootstrapped startup. My company CLB7 (www.clb7.com) has been developing a web based software, claRelease, to help make the process of changing data simpler. From my previous experiences in audit, I have seen how difficult it is for organisations to implement changes in a controlled manner, while maintaining clear view of what changes have been made, under who's approval, and what the results were. Typical solutions involved the employment of additional staff or the internal development of a change release application. I'm hoping that claRelease can serve as a simple and affordable solution to this problem. The core product has been developed, extensively tested, and is ready for trial. However it isn't 100% complete as we're still finishing off the backend management side (i.e. user management). Therefore, I would love to draw on some of your experiences to help me plan my way forward. 1. Do any of you have experience in finding organisations willing to trial a product that has core functionality in place, but is not yet fully completed? 2. What recommendations to you have to increase exposure of my product to my target market of database administrators, IT managers, IT risk managers and system owners? To date I have been relying on my personal network, but I am at the stage of needing to cast the net further. 3. Would any of you be willing to meet with me to provide advice/ support at the early stage of my business? I would also at the same time love to provide advice and contacts in return if you too are a business owner.
