Hi,
Bit of background, while having limited programming/IT skills I designed and developed a v11 web application for my current employer that took ERP data into a SQL server database and categorized that data, allowed for users to quickly review and analyse the issues along with some workflow elements(escalate to other people/teams on issues etc) and some reporting elements. It got great feedback internally and I have now shown to some external people who feel that it may solve issues faced by their own companies and potentially others.
So I'm considering whether to attempt to bring this on further as a standalone product. I have concerns mainly stemming from my lack of technical knowledge about how I would do this with Alpha v11. Up to now, I have the Application server running through the same instance as my Developer display. How do I start deploying a solution to other companies? Would it be a case of changing the settings such as Database connection strings in Developer, saving this and putting onto their server along with a new Application Server licence? Is there a way to package your app so that when you install a new instance of it each new user can specify thier specifics such as database connection strings, URL (and I'm sure a host of other things I haven't even started to think about)
In summary, I'm looking for any pointers/information on to change from being someone who used Alpha Five v11 once to being someone who would actually start selling my Alpha Five solution to others.
Many thanks.
