> The political concerns extend beyond the company's own internals. They must appear enterprisey if they expect to be treated enterprisey. Today, enterprises have "data science" departments and blow $100k/mo on useless crap. If they're not doing that, it's a liability for the whole company, not just from the petty territorial perspective of one individual. It doesn't matter that it's possible to accomplish the same thing with one one-hundredth of the monthly expense. The enterprise signaling is worth the cost.
This is a great opportunity to sell $400/mo. enterprise solutions for $100k/mo.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoIt's also potentially a good way to fund high-security implementations. Get the protocols, data formats, and so on that you cant easily change right ahead of time. Design rest for easy modification. Rapidly build product with just enough assurance. Focus on sales, support, and integration contracts. Eventually shift to rewriting the thing a bit at a time for high security/QA with any reusable components dual-licensed. If enough money comes in, pay hardware team to put together some secure, RISC-V servers on top of that.
