Why Software Doesn't Work:
Most studios have given up the on the epic quest to find the perfect software to manage their studio. The big studios hire software designers to create elaborate custom databases that costs thousands of dollars to build and thousands more to maintain. The small studios suffer with software designed to be simple organizers that maybe designed for business but no where near close to the full necessities of the studio business. Before MyStudioSessions.com, studio owners and mangers were held hostage to world that didn't understand them. The revolution has come.
Software sucks. Why? From experience we could tell you a few reasons.
- Hard coded design.
- The Good Old "But I'm Just a Version" Line.
- Your Clients Don't Care.
Software is installed onto a machine in your studio. After the installation, the software you installed is completely dependent on that machine to function properly or you're out of business. Even if you keep backups (which sorry to say most don't until after the first time they lose data). you still lose information that was entered since the last backup. When's the last time you backed up your email inbox? or your MySpace page? or your YouTube videos? Never, right? If your computer acts up, you can move onto another machine without slowing down. We are embracing new era of technology where software is reserved for super-complex applications, fortunately for your studio management isn't one of them and MyStudioSessions.com was designed for you.
Another drawback to software is versions. You think you just bought the latest and greatest only to find out that the manufacture was saving even better ideas for the next "version". So while you're trying to balance an ROI (Return On Investment) you get teased with all the features that were missing from the previous release. What a jip! Now you have to buy the upgrade to keep up with the times. With MyStudioSessions.com you pay a low monthly rate to subscribe to the site and most studios see an ROI in the first week. As we upgrade the site the new features are readily available to you, you're not left in the dark. No need to purchase upgrades or install bug fixes. In essence, you always have the latest "version" and you never have to install it.
The last thing we'll say about software is this. At best, purchasing software may get you organized but what about your clients? You invest money into a software package and the only benefit they see from it is your logo on an invoice. The goal of MyStudioSessions.com is to keep your clients in the loop so that everyone works toward success because success for your clients ultimately means success for your studio. Your clients will appreciate being able to track the progress of their sessions and map out the structure of their projects. As they promote the work you helped them create they are also helping to promote your studio.
