Strictly speaking ~ Quintessential Australia not the ‘best’ place for an ISV.

• Taxation Laws in Australia tend to be tilted toward Mining, Farming, Tourism which are heavily dependent on common goods or social goods
• Contrast to an ISV whom does not have such dependencies on external factors & almost complete control
• Similarly these arguments could be applied to Australian Workplace Laws and even Australian Consumer & Competition Law
• ISV’s are still welcome to set up here – there are still a few successful ones around!

 

 

Limitations of the Public Cloud [again] !!

Does it really make a difference whether you pay for storage on a local hard drive or Cloud hard drive

• Because nothing is free!

The World Wide Web might be ~0.5% of the technology industry:

• That is running in a browser over Port 80 or Port 443!

 

Horizontal (not Vertical) expansion of Microsoft Office!

• Everyone loves Office!
• As computers get faster, the Internet gets faster, more storage space!
• Horizontal Integration to Office – NOT vertical!
• A great (pseudo) Private Cloud product!
• Microsoft Project was a great addition!

Even in Voluntary work ... you still need a skill!

Think of Altruism - for an Uber driver or Airbnb host to go that little extra mile for a paying customer …

A point on Demand Forecasting for Implementation Partners.

Well there's no point in trying to forecast when iPhones break, they break when they break

Ditto Implementation Partners trying to forecast when customers want to implement SharePoint, Project Server, CRM or Skype for Business
Customers are ready to buy when they’re ready to buy

So do you really want to jam these into the cash flow of a [permanent] employee?

If you already drive a taxi - consider driving an Uber!

You already have a HUGE number of business advantages in transitioning across:

• Holder of a T License
• Breeze through Taxi Induction
• You can understand and sign all paperwork associated with Taxi services
• No issue with getting the ‘first job’
• You will probably already have a larger than average vehicle
• A track record of Customer Service experience

Gotta hand it to the Private Cloud for the cost of storage over the Public Cloud.

 

Subscription	Price	Price per GB
OneDrive 50GB	50GB for $50 for 2 years	$1+ per GB
2 TB Hard Drive	$100	5c per GB

 So at the time of writing Private Cloud Storage is (less than) 5% of the price of Online Storage!

Material Facts are everything in 21st Century Legal Reasoning!

If we concentrate on Material Facts in building up a case;

• The priority is to collect new information and material facts
• Not identifying legal issues and spinning legal arguments!

Google is certainly somewhat central! 

Something for it's competitors (such as Microsoft) to look at! 

Important ways to collect information:

• Web Search
• Phone Call (IP and telephony)
• Messaging (IP and telephony)
• E-mail
• Physical (go to retail shop, ask somebody at work, in your house etc …)
• Inspection of computer environment
• Many others ... 

Due to copyright … a bit harder …

• Books (including Internet versions)
• Magazines (including Internet versions)
• Television (including Internet versions)

So hence we conclude - High Speed Internet is critical! 

In obtaining Information generally – this highlights the importance of high speed, reliable and ubiquitous Internet

Because Information is everything!

And that's our motto!

We keep booming along with the technology ... until business and / or political problems hit!
