8. Invitation to joint development
An initial release of the FreeTime solution is already available. However, the development of the FreeTime system is still intensively going on. LEDAS has its own vision of an ideal meeting scheduling solution, but this vision can be adjusted based on the feedback from the users. We invite all interested parties to contribute to the FreeTime development by sending us their vital requirements, wishes and thoughts about an ideal meeting scheduler.
We also have a partnership program for all the parties that want to have that ideal solution or any other solutions based on FreeTime and Scheduler technologies, gain more control over FreeTime and Scheduler enhancement, and to make it faster. Creation of a technology comparable to the LEDAS Scheduler is very expensive: licensing of a third-party solver consumes funds, increases product price and affects supportability because your solution contains uncontrolled third-party code. We offer a reasonable alternative: by investing in the development of the Scheduler you leave the development of a solver to the field experts, gain some control over the development process, can license the final version of LEDAS Scheduler at a special price and cover this licensing by your investments (your investment will be regarded as the licensing fee), control support, further development and enhancement trends with access to the latest releases.
For all who need some extra functionality not covered by FreeTime, LEDAS offers consultancy and outsourcing services. FreeTime team can implement features not presented in the public FreeTime version but close by nature to the tasks for which FreeTime is designed. Such development can be done on terms varying from pure outsourcing (with all rights for this FreeTime version belonging to the customer) to joint development of a FreeTime-based or Scheduler-based market product, which can be distributed by the customer or cooperatively by the customer and LEDAS.
