"If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
-- Sir Issac Newton (1676)
Winnou is a one year old startup firm. Even after one year, we consider ourselves "startup" for several reasons - our agility, the team and the culture within the organization. With a flat organization structure (but hey, our team size is less than 10!) where fresh ideas are encouraged and cultivated, we continue to churn out new ideas and products at a rapid pace.
Over the past year, we have stuck to our founding philosophy which is based on open source software tools, SaaS based approach to software delivery and a undeterred focus on customer success - mind you not "customer satisfaction". We are glad to be where we are today - 100% of our customers are ready to speak on our behalf.
Several factors including the evolving technology patterns as well as the changing social and cultural fabric of the world, make Winnou possible.
1. Open source community that has come of age - with development and release of several solid reliable solutions
2. Evolving SAAS business model - Winnou is one of the front runners in this regard
3. Target client base that is large enough, and at the same time with similar business processes that can be supported on the single solution platform
4. Availability and rapid adoption of broadband Internet services across many consumer markets of the world
With all these in perspective, we at Winnou foresee a not too distant future, where many of the routine functions of a traditional business can be delivered as a service. Till date, technology solutions were prohibitively expensive for most businesses and many SMEs shied away from such initiatives. Winnou's delivery model will enable all such businesses to be able to afford solutions that meet their business needs - not just afford, but make it attractive for all of them to be on board the Winnou platform.
