Collabora Online is:
A component that is re-used by many industry leading products.
Focused on service and support products around our Open Source document editing core.
“We want to invest in our partners to grow their business, to send them leads and help to create mutual opportunities.”
When we partner, we want both sides to understand what kind of relationship we will have around the Open Source code we are working on.
Horizontal Competitors
Which means we will compete with each other to sell services and support around Collabora Online in a winner takes all race for a customer.
Vertical Partners
We work to build our own pieces of a joint solution, and fit them together to deliver the best value for our customers.
Horizontal Competitors vs Vertical Partners
Our partner programme is designed for vertical partners offering a joint solution.
Collabora sells per-user licenses and expects to support your entire user-base.
This avoids a misaligned incentive to buy a trivial number of users in order to get access to our high quality support services, product management and roadmap access – while free-riding on our Open Source code to provide the results to a large number of unpaid users.
We provide fixed-cost issue-fix SLA packages based on an average cost to fix a ticket based around a person-week of development.
This is a great product for customers to budget against, and gives peace of mind. However partnering with a horizontal competitor who would be free to pre-filter out easy fixes from this stream and/or increase utilization by aggregating multiple customers would make these products unaffordable for us to deliver.
For larger customers we also run pilot programmes where we can invest heavily in up-front work to fit the software to their needs.
Having a clear commitment to working together builds confidence that this will yield a return.
All tickets, average time: 28.25 hours
“Hard” tickets, average time: 59.1 hours
Working Together with Our Partners
We want to invest in our partners to:
Grow their business
Send them leads
Help to create mutual opportunities
Encourage them to make their own open-source community contributions
We believe this approach allows us to nurture successful businesses for both ourselves and our partners, it allows us to ensure that all of our code is Open Source, as well as building clear and mutually beneficial partner relationships.
