Money Train
September 19th, 2008 by Shannon Newton
All aboard! We have officially left the Pilot leg of our journey and arrived at the commercial launch station on the Market7 express. A few factoids on our trip.
147 Pilot users graciously took the time to test and give us feedback
14 Software releases comprised the pilot phase of development
37 Pilot productions were managed through the Market7 platform
0 puppies or kittens were harmed in the making of our project
Amazing engineers and dedicated pilot users cooperated to make this commercial release happen on time. Any of you familiar with the software development world know just how special it is when you set out a release goal many months in advance and hit that goal precisely on time. Add to it such a significant milestone as a commercial release and you have something we here at Market7 are very, very proud of.
There have been a special group of core pilot users whom we have put a lot of trust and faith in, soliciting their opinion to help keep us working on the right things. I would be remiss not to take this exciting moment to thank them personally. Brent Bye of Boxwrench studios, Alex and Joe Lindsay of PixelCorps/DVGarage, Bob Tracy of Westroad Media, Ericka OBenar, Alex Oliver, John Korossy, Bradley Robinson, and Matt Chapman and many others who graciously took their time to try out our software and give feedback.
The work has just begun as we remain focused on continued improvement to our software. But for at least the next fifteen minutes, we are going to sit down, kick our feet up, and enjoy this little victory, the first of many.
