Steve and Dustin were on the meeting this morning when I joined. Steve was talking about some of the new ideas of adilas being able to sell or resell some of the services that are needed. Fun new ideas and momentum in that direction. Hopefully it will get us out of the hot spot in the middle of the volcano.

Just an idea, but what if we treated adilas like a giant code library and allowed outside developers to virtually checkout out certain files, work with them, and then turn them back in to be code reviewed and merged in to the master code branch? That would be really cool. The goal is to allow full custom code that comes from outside developers. We want to keep the projects small and then keep merging in the custom pieces. We'll help them setup their own testing environments, with our help, with our code, with our databases and/or a copy of their live databases, and then help them keep moving forward. We'll run their projects through the system just as if they were our own. We'll help with planning, getting them started, assets, code review, sign-off, merging in, and other processes. All of this will be billable as a service.

Yesterday, Steve and I had a good conversation about selling more than just our software. This is one of the ways that we could help sell the custom code and hosting side of the equation. Fun stuff and great ideas. Steve and I drew some pictures and talked about options. See attached for a scratch drawing of some of the ideas.
