SCALING THE VIASATF PROJECT AT A BUDGET OF 200K. - A SMALL PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------


Let me give you an example FOR - Building and scaling The VIASATF Project WITH A Constraint BUDGET OF 200K.
the steps would be as follows.
 
1] Collaborate with a TEAM of 10 Engineers to arrange for Finance: 10 x 20000K USD = 200K USD
   [ Give them a STAKE OR SHARE IN RETURN ]

2] KEEP A BUDGET OF 10000$ FOR The RUNNING THE Servers [ projected server costs for 2 YEARS ]


3] Go to  A firm LIKE ORACLE/IBM who have a large number of People in their Workforce As well as a large number of clients.
   Create a small contract - Specifically for technology evangelism.

   NORMAL IT WORKFORCE BILLING RATES: 30$ PER HOUR.
   WE SIGN A SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT RATE OF 200$ PER HOUR - FOR EVANGELISM WORK.

   Convince ORACLE / IBM /EPAM / ATOS - to allow a small team OF ENGINEERS to do carry out EVANGELISM/TECH SEMINAR WORK at USA/ EUROPE.
   Target: 400 IBM/ORACLE Clients and explain the VIASATF Technology functions to them, through a Small TECH TALK OR A TECH SEMINAR. [ INHOUSE ]

   400 x 2 hours talk/Seminar Talk Per Client = 800 HOURS of Evangelism. 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   COST OF 800 HOURS OF EVANGELISM = 800 X 200 USD $ = 160K USD


4] TOTAL AUDIENCE REACH FROM 400 Clients could reach 400 x 200 People = 80000 people.


5] TRAVEL COSTS TO REACH CLIENTS : 20000 USD

6] Use the Balance 5000 USD for Evangelism through MEDIA / PRESS RELEASES.

7] IF THE ENTERPRISE CLIENTS ARE READY TO PAY UP FOR FURTHER TECH TALKS/ SEMINARS, THE SMALL EVANGELISM TEAMS COULD GIVE 
   LECTURES ON STEX // RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGIES TOO. THAT WOULD ALLOW STEX AND THE TEAMS TO EARN SOME REVENUES - FROM THE PAID TECH TALKS !.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

COST BREAKUP : FOR SCALING VIASATF

APP BUILDING COST    : 3000 USD 
SERVER COSTS         : 10000 USD [ 2 YEARS PLAN ]
EVANGELISM COSTS     : 160000 USD
TRAVEL COSTS         : 20000 USD
MEDIA COVERAGE COSTS : 5000 USD

----------------------------------
TOTAL 198000 USD.

2000 USD CAN BE USED FOR SOME MISCELLANEOUS TASKS. [ LIKE APP MAINRENANCE/ SERVER ADMINISTRATION ]


8] IF the project account scales reasonably, delegate work contracts to IBM/ATOS/ORACLE/MONGO/EPAM to manage the project. 


9] Finally one question ? Why would a Large company ever do Evangelism for STEX  Or any other Client ? 
   The answer is : It's a DIFFERENT & INTERESTING TYPE OF WORK that can earn a lot of revenues for the dservice provider.
   For E.g.IF A TECH COMPANY LIKE ORACLE OR IBM allocates 2000 small teams to do TECH Evangelism work - working 200 days a year, 2 sessions per day !
   They would earn REVENUES for their parent company AS FOLLOWS.

    200 people Audience X 70USD $ X 200 DAYS X 2 SESSIONS PER DAY = 28000 USD PER DAY X 200 DAYS
    5600000 = 5.6 Million USD $ per YEAR.

    2000 TEAMS  = 2000 TEAMS X 5.6 MILLION $ PER YEAR = 11.2 BILLION $ PER YEAR [ DOING ONLY TECH EVANGELISM WORK ]
    DOES THIS LOOK ATTRACTIVE  ??

  
 
 


NOW IF WE CANT ARRANGE FOR 200K USD for this type of project ? - Close shop ! and convince ourselves that It's not worth it.
