[Geons-users] GEONS vision

[Alistair Cunningham]

Steve,

Certainly. Here are some ideas for a company with 50000 users spread 
across a few hundred offices. The headquarters has 10000 users, and 
there are some regional offices of 100 to 1000 users, but many of the 
local offices have only 5 to 50 users.

1. PBX system, where users can be administered from headquarters, and 
SIP handsets can be plugged in at any office and "just work". Offices 
need not have VoIP quality network connectivity to headquarters, and may 
be disconnected intermittently.

2. Integrics will be releasing other work-flow based products based on 
Geons in the future. These have not yet been chosen yet, but document 
management and a ticketing system are ideas.

3. Customers will be able to create their own work-flow based products 
by modifying the Geons templates and adding their own templates. Third 
parties (folks like you) can also do this on a paid basis. In a distant 
future version, it would be nice if Geons could manage the licensing of 
third party code for you.

4. External code can be connected to the Geons server using the Geons 
XML protocol to provide redundant/failover distributed storage, 
authentication, validation, etc, etc. The external code can then 
implement its own user interface.

Pricing is yet to be decided, but I'm thinking in terms of X 
USD/EUR/GBP/etc per user per year, where is X is a fairly small number. 
This would not include support. Integrics would provide support only to 
a few key partners, which would then be free to offer support contracts 
to whoever they like at whatever rates they wish.

The product will be very re-branding and white label friendly.

This is all vague at this point, and subject to change at any time!
