BINGO. BUNDLE is the magic word. When I saw the list of Microsoft apps nFusz is integrating into the light bulb went off.
When nFusz announced the Odoo deal I was looking at their apps thinking, what would nFusz be bundled into and do they even sell bandwidth and storage? Didn't make sense so I figured that paragraph wasn't about them. Still could be and I am missing something, but not high on my list of candidates that fit.
Now the picture is clearer when you think of a Microsoft, IBM, Google, etc. Someone might have looked at notifiCRM and said, heck, we could give it away for free and pay you, because we'll make a killing on bandwidth and storage, but we need to to change the app so people won't be using youtube but our platform.
I'll give you some scenarios using Microsoft as an example. Keep in mind this could be any two vendors besides Microsoft. Not saying any of this will happen and everyone should do their own DD and not get it off a message board.
1. Microsoft throws this into Office or Windows OS for free. Pays nFusz for each copy and makes money on bandwidth/storage
2. Microsoft offers it to customers as part of Office 365 like they do with other apps like Microsoft Project and nFusz gets the revenue and Microsoft gets the bandwidth/storage
3. notifiCRM is available for free or a low cost and bandwidth/storage revenue is split
4. none of the above.
I think #2 is the likely one in my opinion which would be a home run.If it was #1, that would be a grand slam but the wording is "offerrred" not "given". Although you could offer it for free so that could still fit.
The bundling part is exciting and very different than the Oracle and Marketo deals.
You want an example of how this works:
Outlook Customer Manager
Track and grow your customer relationships right within Outlook.
"Buy now with Office 365"
https://products.office.com/en-us/business/ou...ip-manager
"To fund the ongoing costs associated with the integration of our software with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Dynamics, and the Microsoft Office 365 platform, among other ongoing initiatives with Microsoft Corporation;"
"We intend to enter into partnership agreements with large cloud services providers, who bundle our application with such providers’ other applications offered to their existing and prospective global customer base in order to drive more data storage and bandwidth utilization fees from such customers. We are currently finalizing contract negotiations with two such cloud services providers for similar partnership relationships."
