Bug, Money, and Dream
Dear Reader,

I always tell my R&D team to take care of business by focusing on fixing bugs, money, and dream in that order. I will explain what they mean.

The highest priority in developing and maintaining computer software and systems are to fix bugs when we find them. There are different levels of bugs we find. Of course, the highest priority is something that can bring down a system. Those bugs are call critical bugs. There are other less critical bugs. For instance, when buttons do not align, typos, and other bugs which have ways to work around. Never the less, we put a high priority on bug fixing.

The second priority is to bring revenue to the company. I hope I don’t have to explain why bringing revenue is important. Without revenue, the company will not function. So we put a high priority on the projects that bring revenue.

The third priority is what we call Dream. This is where we design and develop something new. We are always developing something new. We are currently developing a “Feedback System”, “Help Desk System” and “MP3 Audio Embed System” and “CRM + Collaboration + Task Tracking System” Called Pilot SBT (Small Business Tools). Those products are developed for our internal use and being refined as we spend more time. We are making them available to you as well in very limited bases.

We are not a reseller of products developed by others. We are the original manufacturer. That means we can modify, delete, and add any feature you want. We are always looking for business partners to push our products. If you have a product idea, please let us know. We will be happy to work with you develop and expand our dream.
