Hi,
Someone has approached me from a large organisation and asking about using my web application in a corporate setting. They want to be able to use it having the data stored within the organisation so they can use proprietary content in the app.
I was thinking of selling a copy of the application (as in give them all the code under some T&C's) which they can setup themselves as I think this would be easier (for me anyway haha), but honestly I have no idea if this is the right move and how to proceed. I think it would be good to integrate some kind of 12-month key that they have to pay each year to renew, but I'm just throwing ideas out.
My app currently uses a 3-tier architecture: PHP backend, MySQL database and client-side JavaScript. However, what complicates things a bit more is I've been working on a new version (which is a lot better) which uses a new stack of technologies (Node.js) and would require a completely different setup so I think they would need to wait for this version to be released.
I have absolutely no experience setting up internal software for companies or whatever this requires and I'm wondering if anyone on here has done a similar thing and is willing to share their advice? I just have no idea what I'm doing and need some guidance xD
Side note: I'm still at uni as well, which is a right pain. Considering dropping out and pursuing this full-time if I can persuade my parents, but that's a topic for another post.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tim
