Workshop
After the evaluation of your product sheet we will contact you and book a half day workshop. The purpose of this is to define the integration with EPiServer, give you a brief overview of the EPiServer platform and identify the market possibilities. The workshop is divided in two tracks:
- Tech track
Overview of EPiServer, overview of your product, installation of EPiServer on your laptops, define integration interfaces, kick start your development with hands-on example of integration suited for your needs.
- Marketing track
Define your product offer, identify interesting/possible markets, set a launch plan, marketing to EPiServer Partners, Business model, potential Webinars, etc. This will end up in a short, action-oriented marketing plan.
The workshop is preferably held at EPiServer head quarter in Stockholm, Sweden. We can also do it online through share screening programs.
