Yes. The key depends on what you want to do.
1, at present, the domestic software industry is mainly to provide market-oriented solutions to engineering problems, so the first and second-tier cities are mostly. Such as: AI, big data, communications, medical, health, office, logistics, etc., there are many companies, their business is much the same. To be honest, they are all alive, and very few of them have become large-scale and climatic. Like the manufacturing industry twenty years ago, a rush, into the few who survived.
2, to become a world-class software company, like Microsoft, Oracle, etc., may need to be precipitated, to have a big idea, down-to-earth. Microsoft was first started in a hotel; Apple was started in a garage; the main part of the Silicon Valley in the United States is located in Santa Clara County at the southern end of the San Francisco Peninsula, which includes a 25-mile-long section of the valley from the city of Palo Alto to the county seat of San Jose. These are places that the average person might think of as only farming or unsuitable for anything to do with entrepreneurship. But they made it, and Bill Gates' $90 billion asset base is now at an all-time high. Gates' $90 billion in assets is the world's largest.
3, China's software industry, the application of red-hot, insufficient foundation. It's hard to see the top 10 programming languages that are made by Chinese. Once intellectual property rights are restricted, many of our development tools will be discontinued.
Large-scale CAD design software, we are also far behind. Domestic CAXA, Zhongwang and other CAD, far behind AUTOCAD, solidworks, UG and other foreign software. These all need research, investment. People a single sell into ten million, our CAD sell 100,000 may be everyone is considering whether it is better than 10 yuan of pirated software.
4, have the idea, have the courage to do a good job, is the world's first, regardless of your company is in the mountains, or in the river valley. No idea, do big road goods, is the company's headquarters is set in the center of the East Xintiandi, you will not make a fortune.
1. Software companies give priority to first-tier or strong second-tier cities, do not rely on the relationship with the skills, the size of the company have food, the market is large enough opportunities enough;
2. 23-line cities, basically the local deep-rooted for many years or into the industry of the software company monopolized 80% of the market, and then the first-line big software company's back-end team to transfer, which is part of the not to do the local market is just the Development team;
3.456 line city, there is not much market, only consider doing outsourcing team, through crowdsourcing platform (zbj, jfh) to receive orders, or take 12 line software company's single, there is no other way.
Then the question came, go outsourcing this way, is the lowest end of the industrial chain, and Dongguan's small processing plant is almost the same, every day tired, overtime, can only earn a meal before, after the staff wages, etc., the boss may also be a loss, the situation is good only a little better than the part-time job, in addition to crowdsourcing platforms, the biggest problem is that the annual membership fee is a huge investment in the city of each province, basically the flow of traffic were Crowdsourcing platform early members to divide up the rest of the poor flow, you do not necessarily smash the advertising costs, in addition to the scarcity of porridge, the bidding between peers to make you doubt life. So take outsourcing is just a mixed mouth to eat, talk about the so-called sustainable development,
So there is a way to advance, they go to 12 cities to do the market +3456 to do the technical team, they go to the 12 line through their own industry contacts to receive a single comparative scale software companies and then in the 3456 line to build a technical team, if their own technology bully can be submerged in the down to do the product promotion and operation (this road is more difficult to go than to take the outsourcing in the short term) The first thing that you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the company, and then you can get a good deal of money from the company.)
The key is to see where your customers are.
Additionally how small. You want to be in a county in a tier 5 city. That's basically not viable. If it's a tier 3 city it's ok.
Also your customers if they are the county public prosecutor or something like that or the county mega-businesses when I'm not talking about it.
The feasibility of this still exists, but the likelihood of failure is greater, I will be in the township economic development zone of the six-tier cities card number of the software company, 30 minutes away from the county, an hour's drive from Wuhan, I would like to say that it is difficult to be a pushover, there are many problems, see the comments of some people say that the software technology talent is hard to find, customers are hard to find, the sustainability of the poorer, which is the obvious problem! This is very simple, even if the salary to 6000, can only be recruited to the general level of software developers, others just happen to come over to practice, although 6000 can be in the local town to buy 2 square feet, in the county can also buy a half square feet, but no one is willing to stay here for a long time, as the saying goes, outside the world is more exciting, the professional software recruiting is very difficult, the lack of talent, determines the company can carry out the work, the small place, the company can be a very important part of the work of the company, the company can be a very important part of the work of the company. can carry out the work of small local software companies, the core of the company's business direction, or product direction, this is very important, some may do toB business, the local entity is also very much, the factory is also very much this kind of do software is clear, industrial industry software is in fact very complex, the technical content of the requirements is very high, more than the development of a Web site, apps, OA To be too difficult, industrial software involved in professional knowledge is not a general system class can be compared to do out of the software is ultimately applicable to such factories, such factories are willing to buy, whether they are willing to arrange for full-time staff to operate, so that the value of the software on the ground, we all know that the domestic are based on the national management model, the management mode of each factory are not the same, a software to adapt to the A set of software to adapt to a variety of situations, it is unrealistic factory owners, plant managers, managers can realize the value and significance of the use of software? This is not easy to say, the annual output value of how many factories have the need to use the software? This is not a unified standard, on the contrary, they feel that office software has been enough, then the result is to invest a lot of R & D costs and manpower, time to go in, but not sold, not sold, after all, pirated office suite, so that the installation of the repair of computers, only need to spend 50 can be done to take over the government, the unemployed unit of the work of a complete set of solutions is not a small software company to get down. A small software company can get down, is nothing more than some of the things to do under the website, the need for relations, demand changes are relatively large, but also bad payment, we all understand, for some small start-ups, their own is to do agents of this kind, they themselves have information technology, online needs, this is in fact more difficult to penetrate into a small industry, to find a company to do a good job, and then help it realize the information technology. Company, and then help it to achieve information technology, online, to make some common functions, the formation of the initial software version, but you know, there is no standard management process, your software products suitable for this, may not be suitable for the other, but also involves customized development, this kind of company is aware of the software, information technology, online to help it and the significance of the same problem, your products must be cheap, the price is too high, they can not accept, if you do not have to pay a lot of money, they can not accept. They can not be accepted, if you can not find a large number of similar industries on the software application scenarios have a need for customers, you are also very difficult to recover your R & D costs through your software products, for toC users, you want to earn money through your software products is also very difficult, personal end customers spend money to use the software thing, in most people's minds have not yet been formed, if your software products do not have scarcity, it is very difficult for the software products. With scarcity, it is difficult for users to pay to use, it is likely that the market with your product features similar to free software, or even pirated software, this is a very normal phenomenon, to large companies to do outsourcing, outsourcing industry, this exists for too many years, for small software companies, bidding for shortlisting of the qualifications are not, this is also very normal, the large companies are also increasingly focusing on the cultivation of self-research team, are in the Reduce the investment in outsourcing, which is also a trend, software companies in small places want to rely on a big brother to survive, this is a very difficult thing, because there is no big brother, there is no listed company, there is no such demand, they earn money in a way that does not rely on information technology to bring industrial upgrading and sales growth, for them, the software can not bring them the value they expect, naturally, are not willing to pay for this, but does not mean that the small places of software companies do not have the ability to pay for this, but it does not mean that the software companies do not have the ability to pay for this. Not that small local software companies do not have room for survival, the difficulties are very large, the growth cycle may also be very long, it is possible that you have not grown up in the loss to the closure of the company, purely through the software products provided by the software company, and then to realize the profitability of the company's survival, this may be very difficult, but if the change of mind, based on the software R & D technology, and then based on the technological capabilities to provide other service functions, or products, so that the software products, online platform to serve your company's business, directly facing the c-end users to provide services and other products, directly to achieve profitability, the equivalent of software R & D is just a department of your company, serving your company's business lines, product lines, directly targeting the c-end users to achieve revenue, this is a very good model, because in small places, most people are even the computer is not operated very smoothly, you are in a small place. operation is not very smooth, you are in the company has the ability to integrate online and offline, only then can be needed by other local businesses, not only can you earn money, but also help other businesses to create revenue, do not define yourself as a simple software company, or you will feel that you are in the wrong place, of course, if your team of technology bully, and not afraid to break the law, and dare to do the black, gray, and dare to jack the large companies
It depends on what degree of small city you are talking about, if it is four or five cities should be able to, but if you are in the general county may not work.
I have a friend in the prefecture-level city to open the software company, do more than ten years, you say is not too good I dare not say, but I see his car house are bought, and are on their own, did not let the family take a penny, because the hometown is the countryside, by virtue of their own efforts to rely on the software to open the company step by step to do up.
I went to his company many years ago to see a good job, and now should do better, but do this more or less rely on a little bit of relationship, especially into the institutions, so the market is always there is just the size of the factor.
Feasibility, but less than one in 10,000, but also branch business direction and category
Big cities accept a higher degree of small cities are generally popular in big cities for a long time before passing
If you want to do a more cutting-edge company or the country is a relatively high degree of innovation companies really do not recommend the small city, if it is the recognition of acceptance of a higher degree of products is can choose to start a business in small cities, but if you really to the small city are accepted to a higher degree, proving that the entire market is also a red sea
I originally in the group-buying site has just emerged in the small city to do similar to the U.S. group site, but at that time all the people in the small city do not know what is called group-buying and what is called the network payment, and so most of the group-buying site is dead, and even the big cities popular for five years, the small city only began to know what is the group, and what is called the network payment The only way to know what a group buy is is to go to a small city.
