Introduction
A single person can bring value to the CMMS world. This is my belief.
I have been building software for 15+ years.
Now, I want to build a software product business. A small, sustainable, bootstrapped software product business.
As the founder of a small business, I need to focus on a single, well-defined, popular software category. But first I have to pick one and start somewhere while avoiding overthinking and analysis paralysis.
G2 and Capterra are the two biggest software marketplaces I’m aware of:
Most popular software categories today
G2
- Project Management
- Video Conferencing
- E-Commerce Platforms
- Marketing Automation
- Accounting
- CRM
- Expense Management
- ERP Systems
- Online Backup
Capterra
- Applicant Tracking Software
- Church Software
- Contract Management Software
- Construction Management Software
- Field Service Management Software
- LMS Software
- Maintenance Software
- Medical Practice Management Software
- Performance Appraisal Software
- Project Management Software
At this level of abstraction, maintenance software stands out to me as a popular category that I may want to work with long-term.
I have a lot of research and many decisions ahead of me. Existing software, pricing, features, benefits, language, design patterns… I invite you on a journey through this process. I’ve gone through it multiple times, but never in public for myself. Maybe something will come out of it. Maybe not. I know it’s worth a try.
Let’s go,
