Dear developers,
I just finished my project (outlook 2007 addin) and it is ready for deployment.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to Determine the Right Price for it that is because the price should be a function of the costs and practically maintenance.
Can someone please list the maintenance costs of an application?
I have difficulties particular in the ratio of tech support per user (maintenance costs)
Tanks

How can anyone other than the developer know this? Maintenance cost is a function of the complexity of the app and the number of support people required, multiplied by the number of customers who need help. Almost impossible to guess in advance.
The price for your app can also only be determined by you as a function of the devlopment cost, the number of users, and the time period in which you hope to recover your costs. You also need to pitch it not too far above the competition unless you are certain that it's a killer app that will sweep the board.

Tanks,
Yes you are right, I now the complexity of my application but I thought maybe there is
A discussion on the subject that list more costs that I didn’t though about
And case studies in order to forecast it better and maybe make changes now before Deployment involves simple maintenance in the future.
Do you know more?
Tanks,
Patrick

Hi,
there are several possibility,
1) if you have enough fund to market it.
- in this case you can develop your website and do some SEO work and give some advertisement in other related websites like codeproject.
2) if you do not have enough fund.
- in this case you can create some evolution version of your software and once people will addict with your software they will definitely purchase it.
there can be more options with that all depend on your project fund and project size.
thanks

Hi,
nice question, choosing right technology is all depend on your project and requirements. sometimes client prefer the language. if your project will be deployed on multiple platform then choosing dotnet is not good option. there are monoproject which is totally free and opensource. you can go for that , all the dot net features are available with it and its also growing well.
hope this information will help you,
thanks
-amit.
