30 Four lessons from the Software Value Chain Code vs Product Research not market ready Open source governance IT industry support 2016, Cedric Thomas Apr 21,

31 Software is Code 2016, Cedric Thomas Apr 21,

32 What is a Software Product*? Customer Developer * When you want to sell it or do business with it, then it becomes a product 2016, Cedric Thomas Apr 21,

33 What is a Software Product*? Documentation Packaging Roadmap Training Etc. Customer Developer Upgrades Pricing Contracts Support Expertise * It's not just code anymore, it's the whole value proposition 2016, Cedric Thomas Apr 21,

34 Research & Development Code POCs Use-cases Demonstrators Product & Marketing Documentation Roadmap Upgrades Bug-fixing Training Support Packaging Case studies Collateral Pricing Contracts Early adopters Etc. Open Source Governance 2016, Cedric Thomas Predictability Quality Sustainability Software Market Value Without the code, the rest does not exist,but it's the rest that gives market value to the code 34

35 Research & Development Delivery Challenge Code POCs Use-cases Demonstrators Documentation Roadmap Upgrades Bug-fixing Training Support Packaging Case studies Collateral Pricing Contracts Early adopters Etc. Predictability Quality Sustainability 2015, Cedric Thomas Software Market Value Without the code, the rest does not exist,but it's the rest that gives market value to the code 35

36 Code is only a fraction of the software value-chain that delivers marketready offerings. 2016, Cedric Thomas Users expect market-ready offerings, i.e. code complemented by: packaging, services, training, maintenance, support, etc. Users want a full business proposal, not just bare code. 36

37 Research projects do not deliver market-ready offerings. 2016, Cedric Thomas Collaborative R&D projects are expected to deliver POCs demonstrations and components. Open source developers natural bias is to concentrate on core code functionalities. 37

43 Successful projects implement flawless open source governance. Open source governance best practices help build sustainable communities. Code complementers more likely to contribute to trustworthy OSS projects. Non-Profit open source organizations provide neutral support and sustainability. 2016, Cedric Thomas 43

44 Successful open source projects are supported by IT companies. Corporate support ensures roadmap consistency and long-term sustainability. Corporate support develops industry-grade distributions and market-ready offerings. Corporate support helps grow market outreach, sign-up early adopters and provide use cases for mainstream market. 2016, Cedric Thomas 44
