We wondered why no one had ever thought of calling the investment in developing software, the functionality of which is delivered from the cloud, as cloudfunding. We still don\u2019t know. But we decided to use the term anyway.<\/p>\n<h2><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;The Value Of Cloudfunding&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:513,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0}\">The Value Of Cloudfunding<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from coining the term, cloudfunding, we decided to engage in it because we believed it was a better way to deliver value \u2014 more flexibly and less expensively \u2014 to the claims managers and risk managers who depend on our software to get their jobs done efficiently. We undertook the conversion of our old, on-premise claim product \u2014 IMS \u2014 for cloud delivery because we believed the cost savings, the increased productivity, the speed and efficiency, the performance, and the security would constitute valuable assets to our customers. We haven\u2019t heard anything yet to suggest we were wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We also think there\u2019s value in playfulness, in having fun, in engaging in a little word play to come up with a term like cloudfunding, and in deliberately making life a little lighter. We take our work seriously. We take our commitment to our customers \u2014 their business and their loyalty \u2014 very seriously. But we like to believe we don\u2019t have to take ourselves seriously all the time.<\/p>\n<h2>One More Thought On Cloudfunding<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re a product company. We develop and sell software. But we\u2019re also a service company. We provide the services that enable our customers to get the most out of the software they buy from us. And we\u2019ve come to realize we derive at least as much satisfaction from <a href=\"https:\/\/apptechllc.com\/products\/support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supporting<\/a> and interacting with our customers as we do from developing software. If we were inclined to coin another term, we might call that interaction cloudsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t want to get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No. The title of this post isn\u2019t a typo.
