CoolSim

In this episode Paul and I chat about building niche-focussed apps and the merits of teaching for customer aquisition.

In this episode I’m joined by Paul Bemis to talk about the lessons he’s learned building CoolSim – the data centre airflow modelling application – including (but not limited to ;-)

  • their client-server approach to building a software-as-a-service offering on top of Ansys Fluent;
  • how that client-server setup gives them a distinct advantage when it comes to the all-important customer support;
  • the merits of focusing on a niche market and becoming a domain expert in that niche;
  • plus why teaching via webinars has become one of their strongest marketing & customer acquisition channels.
