Microsoft Office: learnings from balancing enterprise and consumer needs
Dear friends,In JC’s Newsletter, I share the articles, documentaries, and books that I enjoyed the most in the last week, with some comments on how we relate to them at Alan. I do not endorse all the articles I share, they are up for debate. I’m doing it because a) I love reading, it is the way that I get most of my ideas, b) I’m already sharing those ideas with my team, and c) I would love to get your perspective on those. If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share about it on social networks! 💡Must-read👉 Hardcore Software: When Microsoft Office Went Enterprise (Future) ➡️ I think it is a must read about the tension between consumer and enterprise and how to try to manage it from Microsoft Office in 2000. I think it applies also for insurance and Alan Mind.
➡️ Building what you can sell is great for your business, but not necessarily in the longer-term if you want to build a product the end-user loves.
➡️ How do we map very well what consumers want and what the HR department for their employees want, and define what is in conflict?
➡️ That will be interesting to see the requirements from the very large ones.
➡️ It is more solved with the cloud, but let’s be careful with the customisation they will ask for in terms of pricing, etc…
➡️ If you let the enterprise buyer decide everything you will end up with a poor product for the end-user.
➡️ Interesting learning on how to make sure you don’t over promise and you don’t push back the signing date because a new feature is going to come.
➡️ Why the consumer side is so important to build the right product for the end-users.
