I keep running into organizations or industries that don't spend money on tech. They don't put it in the budget, or they choose to continue to use volunteers to accomplish tasks that really should be done with software.
I am in situation after situation where I want to create software to make someone's life easier, but I know that in doing so, I won't make any money and it will make my life harder.
I wish there was a way to make money creating software that could really help organizations that won't pay for the tech they need.
- pascalxus 6y agothe fact that organizations don't want software "they need" shows that those industry's companies are not competing against each other. If they were and the software really did make a big difference in their bottom line, then the ones that used the software would be stealing market share from those that don't use it. unfortunately, with a burgeoning govt and ever more companies that have monopolies, there's getting to be less and less competition and efficiency in the world
- MattGaiser 6y agoA lot of it really comes down to explaining that labor cost is equally a cash cost compared to spending on software.
- AstralStorm 6y agoFor some bigger companies it's not, software being capital expenses and labor being operational expenses. They're taxed and budgeted separately.
