Sponsor kalmstrom.com Product Development
If you find that one of our standard products would be perfect
if only this and that feature existed, a sponsorship
might be something for you. Or do you want us to develop
a new standard product within our area of expertise? With
a sponsorship, you will get your requirements fulfilled
but still keep the benefits of purchasing a standard product.
When someone suggests a feature or product that we consider
useful for many organizations and also fairly easy to learn
and use, we usually ask for a sponsorship. This means that
the sponsor pays part of the cost for developing
the feature or new product.
Sponsoring a new product or product version comes with several
key benefits, both technical and strategic:
- Tailored functionality
You get the exact features or enhancements your organization
requires, built into a stable and supported base product.
- Lower development cost
Because we are building on an existing framework, the
cost and time to implement your requested feature or
even new product is typically much lower than creating
a custom solution from scratch.
- No need to worry about future compatibility.
"Your" feature will work on all future versions of the
product, and if you sponsor a new product you can feel
sure it will be upgraded. Users worldwide ensure that
"your" feature/product will work with all supported
SharePoint versions, operating systems and browsers.
- Priority handling.
Sponsors get priority, which means faster development,
early testing opportunities and more direct communication
with the Systems Designer, Peter Kalmström.
- Influence on product design.
As a sponsor, you can shape the design and functionality
of the product or feature. Adjustments are made based
on your input to ensure it meets both your needs and
general usability standards.

In general, kalmstrom.com takes on the responsibility to
- add the feature to the standard product, or create
a new standard product
- document the feature/product
- keep the feature/product alive and possible to upgrade.
As long as the sponsor organization stays a kalmstrom.com
Subscriber, the organization can upgrade the product to
adapt to and take advantage of improvements in future versions
of the product and the underlying Microsoft software.
