Best Practices for Vertical Market Application Architecture - Speaker: Doug Hennig

While a vertical market application shares many of the same goals as a custom application, the bar is higher because the audience is both larger in volume and broader in scope, plus you usually have much less direct contact with the customer. This session examines some of the things to consider when designing and implementing a vertical market application, including:

- Application licensing and activation: the pros and cons of licensing your software, licensing and activation tools, and online activation

- Error reporting: reporting errors to support or development staff with enough information to reproduce or fix the bug quickly

- Application maintenance models: the pros and cons of subscription vs. pay-as-you-go updates, how to decide who is eligible, subscription management

- Version update mechanisms: manual vs. automatic update notification and installation

- Support policies: the pros and cons of different types of support delivery and policies
