Rich Sage Day Job: Designing Network Management Software

I am spending a good part of the day working on the next generation of software that will make the work of Affiliates much easier.  I should know, I am the biggest Affiliate taking advantage of the network.

The objective of the software is to have one management ‘console’ to administer Affiliates (for Corporate) and Clients (for Affiliates) and Ad, Traffic and Services Management (for Clients). Then everything is done from the desk top, which connects to online databases and runs the management work.

This is the DIAGRAM of WHAT THE SOFTWARE DOES:

The major focus of the software is to management Affiliate Memberships, bill clients for extra work and be able run admin work for just about all Affiliate work on the Ad Network.

At first I planned to do all this work online.  Now I am not convinced that “all online” is the way to go.  I think a mixture of online, local and corporate is the way to go, from over 12 years of full-time online experience. 

Part of that belief is because of this: It is true that most small businesses are often 100% relying on online services to administer Internet services.  However, for a larger company, that is not always the case.  My goal is to admin part of the work, that is not 100% online, to run on the office network. I can do this partly because a FIBER OPTIC cable will come right to the office and from that we can have fantastic Internet speeds tha are connected to all the large phone companies from worldwide.

Ok, now back to that work… Carpe Diem,
Rich Sage.
