IDEA - it is time for... 'mobile like' Server Apps
MOBILE-APPS (iPhone, Android, ...)
SERVER-APPS (7iPlatform)
2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018

easy to handle and have a common look and feel

Customer benefits
Mission 7iSolutions7iSolutions is the leading provider of cloud based secure business solutions using Open Source Software (OSS).7iSolutions pre-selects and pre-assesses Open Source Applications, integrates them into the 7iPlatform and publishes all 7iServer-Apps on the 7iMarketplace. The customers can choose from a feature rich and completely pretested set of business application without having to deal with the complexity of the Open Source Software market.
CUSTOMER BENEFIT... Mission, Problem, Solution
The Solution - Open Source Software (OSS) with the 7iPlatformThe 7iPlatform hides the complexity and heterogeneity of the Open Source Software by wrapping the software into Server-Apps that can be installed in 1-click approach after a download from the 7i-Marketplace.This simplified and centralized approach enhances the security and availability of all enterprise data and enterprise application assets and helps to improved trust and efficiency and to lower costs for enterprise IT operations. All IT-Operations-Use-Cases can be done in a Self-Servicing-Approach (User-, Access Privileges-, Project- and Site-Configuration, Application Monitoring, Installation and Disaster Recovery) or are performed periodically by the platform (Backup & Update).
The Problem - Open Source Software (OSS) is very promising, but cumbersome to operate ...Advantages of OSS: Due to the free licenses free OSS implies significantly lower cost compared to commercial software. In addition OSS is robust, innovative, bases on open technology standards and allows for interoperability between applications. Most importantly OSS is widely spread and supports millions of installations worldwide.Disadvantages of OSS: Installation, operations and usage of Open Source Software bring quite some complexity into the organization. A lack of knowledge and therefore some lack of trust are the most important inhibitors to adopt Open Source Software. Often additional staff or support contracts are needed to support Open Source Applications.

COMPETITION... rethink cloud servicesCloud service issues The 7iPlatform cloud
one cloud service serves one single purpose aggregation of services on one integrated platform
several services imply reduced control all services on one platform
several services imply data redundancy shared database for users, privileges, sites, ...
data assets stored all over the world enterprise assets stored in a single, known place
need for cloud service brokerage integrated platform
unclear data security centralized data in private environment
many different logins and accounts centralized identity and access management
many different contract partners one contract partner
unknown quality of cloud services preselection and pre-assessment of Server-Apps
overlapping functionalities between services aligned set of Server Apps with minimal overlaps
unknown and unaligned cost models single license model allows for economies of scale
MARKET BENEFIT... elevator pitch - sampleIntroduction remark: 7iSolutions provides a horizontal solution that is suitable for many industries. End customer value statements depend on customer problem and industry type.
Elevator pitch for Consulting / Engineering companies looking for document management solutions ... In an accelerated and highly interconnected world all consulting and engineering companies have the need to transparently share any types of data with their stakeholders such as customers, partners, staff members, suppliers or even governmental institutions.
The 7iPlatform and the 7iMarketplace are cloud services basing on best-in-class and integrated Open Source Server Applications. The customer can easily version, access and share their assets based on fine granular access rights to collaborate with all involved parties over a secure extranet platform.
Unlike many single products applications of our competitors the 7iPlatform hosts all your Server-Apps supporting single sign-on-access to all enterprise resources in a single, private and highly secured environment.

MARKET WORLDWIDE... potential and scalabilityBackground thoughts:● Consistent multi language capability: The 7iPlatform, the 7iMarketplace and the
integrated 7iServer-Apps support all major languages.● Worldwide usage of Open Source Software: Some Open Source Business
Applications are installed on more than 100 Mio. server systems worldwide.● Permanent innovation is ongoing: just now more than 100'000 OSS projects are
actively developing on behalf of our current and future needs.
The 7iSolutions Business Model is highly scalable - three strategies:● Scale by internationalization / rollout of
7iPlatform and 7iMarketplace. ● Extend scope of offering with
- additional Open Source Business App- integration of commercial Bussiness Apps- integration/brokerage of cloud services.
● Grow over additional target industries by focusing on SME's other industries beside engineering and consulting.

SUMMARY... key takeawaysTrends, market and product
● Cloud services are starting to play a key role for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). ● Open Source Software products are available and proven but somewhat complex.● Success factors for penetrating the SME market are security, trust and simplicity.
High level company strategy● Build on a global business model and implement it in three steps
Step 1: Prove that business model is working in CH and DACH regionsStep 2: Repeat business model on a global scale with a global playerStep 3: Exit - sell company to a global player
Financials and assumptions● The current business plan follows conservative assumptions
Assumption 1: 750 customers with 15 seats in average - less than 1% market shareAssumption 2: Cost per seat & month 25.- CHF* - revenue of 2.5 Mio. CHF* in 3rd year
● Summary of financial statementsBreak even is anticipated for the eighth quarter.External funding of roughly 800'000.- CHF* is needed.
7iPlatform, 7iMarketplace, 7iServer-Apps are ready to take of.
* 1 CHF ~ 1.08 $ ~ 0.81 €
SUMMARY... thoughts and optionsCurrent assumptions in the business planning are conservative
● More sales driven rather than a marketing driven● Upselling of Server-Apps to existing customers rather than forced market expansion● Focus on a small industry segment● Small geographical scope - global business model applied to CH/DACH markets only● Simple value chain - third party hosting only
Additional options currently not included in the business planning ● Extend scope beyond ‘Open Source Software’:
- Expansion into integrating other commercial applications - Expansion into cloud brokerage by integrating cloud services
● Extend value chain - e.g. by including hosting services● Extend market scope: Forcing on an accelerated market expansions into
- additional geographical regions- additional industries with additional Server-Apps
● Focus on marketing to accelerate growth by trying to viralize the sales of the platform ● Early cooperation with global partners to accelerate growth - potential partners:
- ISPs / Hosters / Cloud Service Providers - SaaS providers
To improve our ability to execute we are looking for the 'right partner'.
