Feasibility Studies

It's an exciting time. There are over a billion programmable phones in use waiting for the next great idea. Users, phone OEMs and particularly network operators are hungry for new applications that make best use of wireless data and 3G.

I have helped many startups, companies and even individuals assess and tune their ideas prior to raising funding or committing to development.

More specifically, I ...

  • Assess whether your ideas can be implemented
  • Map ideas onto optimal phones and technologies
  • Where ideas can be implemented, explain how these might be realised
  • When ideas cannot be implemented, where possible, recommend alternative ways that may solve the same problems
  • Explain the implications of code signing (Symbian Signed and Java Verified)
  • Explain physical distribution options
  • Identify success and failure factors
  • Give an assessment of the current market, market timing and the affect of future phone (features)

"A good well compiled report which was full of things I didn't know and one that I could not have written myself. It validated what I did know and highlighted new issues to be considered"

Benefits:

  • My independent assessment can help raise credibility if you are raising funding or talking to possible partners
  • Avoid implementing ideas which won't work
  • Discover which parts will be the most difficult/risky
  • Unearth obstacles other people like you have faced
  • Gain an appreciation of the development effort and skills required

A feasibility study usually proceeds as follows...

  • Sign your NDA
  • Talk through your ideas at a mutually agreeable time
    (usually takes about an hour)
  • Research any difficult areas
  • Liaise with you to fully understand the problem
  • Produce a feasibility study report

A less formal telephone discussion service is also available to talk through your ideas.
