Codosaurus

I mainly serve established American SaaS companies.  However, you don’t have to be one to use my services.  That’s just the best fit.

• If your company is not yet “established” (over three years old, or profitable), you can benefit mainly from my software development services. 

• If you sell your software as a product, or write software for others, or your main line of work depends directly in some other way on software you write, you’re probably still a good fit for all of my services.

• If your main line of work depends directly in some other way on software you outsource, you would still be a good fit for roadmapping, to help bidders understand what you need.

• If you write (or outsource) in-house tools that just help with your business, like inventory or appointment management or whatever, then you can still benefit from my software development services, and maybe roadmapping for major efforts.  My other services are aimed more at quality, which generally isn’t as important for this software.

So why am I targeting “established American SaaS” companies? 

• Companies that are not well established (mainly startups), need to focus on speed and idea validation, which roadmapping can help with, but my other offerings focus mainly on quality.  That helps speed in the long run, but takes a while to have a noticeable effect.

• There is significant additional overhead, on both sides, to dealing with foreign companies.  For a very profitable contract, I might jump through the hoops, but I’m certainly not chasing that market.

• And lastly, SaaS is the space I know best.

Past clients have included:

• a piece of the US Government that prefers not to be named publicly, even though the work was not classified, but sorta rhymes with “cable free-birch cab-Nora-Dory”;

• OneDoor, a company with a web app for retail stores to plan their store layouts;

• OnLife Health;

• a major Internet infrastructure company that prefers not to be named publicly, but sorta rhymes with “very-fine” (not to be confused with the certificate business they had spun off);

• Retrieval Systems, a maker of custom database systems;

• HomeActions, a company with software to let real estate agents maintain their clients’ subscriptions to their snailmail newsletters;

• a major British credit card that prefers not to be named publicly, but sorta rhymes with “spark-day bard” (indirectly as a temporary employee of Object Systems Group);

• the US Department of Veterans Affairs (indirectly as a temporary employee of Halfaker & Associates);

• Department Thirteen, which had a device tracking system and wanted a demo to display what could be done with the data via correlation and display of map points;

• an individual investment advisor in Australia, who wanted a financial portfolio rebalancing system;

• Atomic Broadcast, a now-defunct startup with an idea about social media filtering;

• Liqwid Networks (a now-defunct “Real-Time Enterprise Computing and Communications (RTEC2) technology” software company), who had a group-centric self-service web-based email and SMS system;

• Send2Fax;

• a small voice-response system company whose name I forget (it was literally thirty years ago, and the records have been lost);

• and even longer ago, assorted companies and private individuals who needed PC hardware or software purchased, installed, configured, troubleshot, etc.
