Where we are at in the Mobile Wireless
Market
•Limited Story on how you are going to build advanced content on the mobile devices
•No Clear Story for productizing and delivery these advanced products
•No Clear Story on how you get to market with your products and services
•Weak Story on promotion and marketing around software that publisher bring in to support the
wireless market.
•Weak story how you are going to attach and collect revenues from the products and services
Current developer/publishing market and the consumer are dazed and confused buy
all the hype
For example Game Boy and Playstation II
Nintendo and Sony have strong developer program which comprise of the
following
Clear Story on how to Create Advanced Content
Developer Program, Regional Developer Conference, Tools, continually
upgraded SDK, Middleware, Training, Developer System available to them prior to
Launch, Business Support
Clear Product Delivery Mechanisms: physical media (CD, DVD, Cartridge) in Packaging
Clear path to Market: Publisher access the consumer via established traditional retail and
online retail channels
Clear Story on the promotion and marketing of device and software that support it
PR Campaigns, Trade Shows E3, Review Placement, Website Campaigns, etc
Clear Story how Revenues are comes back to the Publisher
Understand the Developer Business
Models
A point to think about First
For Electronic Arts to agree to publish a console title they are look for a
minimum of 20 Million Dollar Payback against the current worldwide
console market.
What does that mean to you for high value content you
need to consider true cost of bring a product to market.
What the developer/publisher needs to cover
•Intellectual Property License Fees and Royalties, Developer Costs,
Overheads, Marketing Cost, Operating Costs etc.
•3 Applications developed: 2 Engineers $75,000 Per Year, 250,000
Marketing Costs, $1,000,000 IP License(Payed over 4 years), Operating
Costs 200,000
•150,000 + 250,000 + 250,000 + 200,000= $850,000 USD Break Even
Revenues First Year
•Revenue with 40 Percent Margin. $1,190,000 USD
Why do Carriers Need a Managed
Developer Program?
Create a portfolio of value-added high impact applications, products, and services to drive
economic growth through your products
Bringing Business Opportunities to promote the success of new Business Partners
Developing and Distributing tools for the creation of value added complements which drive the
platforms vendors vision (SDK’s and DDK’s)
Build External Trust of the Development Community
Creation of Competitive Stimulus/Catalyst to help drive standards and which help developers
move up to the next level of innovation
Create a compelling and loyal community of Customers, Developers and Partners
Provide a highly effective channel for communications to help drive current and new platform
initiatives which are agnostic to the changes in technology.
Provide a responsive support environment for the needs of Enterprise Customers, Developers
and Partners
Bottom line: Increase profits $$$ Increased brand awareness
