Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

We need to infuse, promote and spread knowledge of VSE to create and grow our market

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Create a hobbyist or single user license (for non-production use) much like the grass roots growth we see in Linux.  This would be a "no-support" license, appropriately priced like other single user Operating Systems.   Support could be an add-on cost again like other single user Operating Systems.  

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

This will promote growth for our Most Venerable Solution.
