Service as a software - a new paradigm for performance and task accomplishment. Over the last several months, I have been gradually shifting the way I teach, design courses, and even grade papers. Previously, it was about me spending money on software applications to solve challenges of too little time, too many tasks, and a lack of flexibility in the solving the challenges that were presented. My bosses expect more, my students expect more, and my colleagues expect more - as we supposedly become more efficient and take on more tasks. Enter - service as a software. Over these last few months I have been abandoning software, apps and downloads (especially those with subscriptions) in favour of online services: ChatGPT, Copilot, Midjourney, Grammarly, etc... Yes, they are still subscription based, which I pay for out of pocket, but they also represent the new approach that #AI is taking - no more software downloads that we rely on (well, sorta, because there are definitely downloadable apps) to perform functions. Instead, the few apps we use serve more as gateway interfaces with the services we seek and they offer a direct link to the services we pay for. AI at its heart provides a variety of tool and source access and make day to day or mundane tasks that much easier. While still not a panacea or end-all, be-all solution, they nevertheless have begun to supplant the traditional software apps that we download and employ at the client level. Granted, they do still need some moderating and oversight, but they are definitely advancing rapidly in their capabilities and the services that they offer. We'll see how the #serviceasasoftware plays out in the future and how we can leverage them to support a wide variety of tasks. https://lnkd.in/gNAAQAPg

💡 The Software Industry is Evolving: Welcome to the Era of Software-Delivered Services (SDS)! As an AI and tech strategist, I'm fascinated by this fundamental shift in how software companies are delivering value. Here's why every business leader should pay attention: 🎯 The Big Shift: • Moving from selling tools to selling outcomes • AI-powered companies now deliver actual work, not just workflows • Quality and accountability are becoming paramount 💼 What Makes SDS Different: 1. Accountability: Unlike traditional SaaS, SDS companies are responsible for the quality of work delivered 2. New Pricing Models: Moving away from per-seat pricing to usage-based billing 3. Cost Advantage: Offering professional services at ~10% of traditional costs through AI automation 🚀 Business Implications: • Traditional professional services firms may need to adapt or risk disruption • Quality assurance becomes mission-critical rather than an afterthought • Companies can access high-quality services at dramatically lower costs 👉 Real Examples in Action: • Customer Service: Companies like Sierra charging per resolved ticket • Immigration Services: Lighthouse handling visas through AI • Training: Exec.com providing AI-powered sales training This isn't just another tech buzzword - it's a fundamental reimagining of how businesses can deliver services at scale using AI.

The end of no-code? AI is bringing in a new era of software development. We're witnessing a paradigm shift: FROM: Rigid, limited no-code/low-code platforms TO: Flexible, on-demand custom software Here's what's driving this change: 1. Current Limitations: No-code platforms with deterministic workflows are falling behind. Example: "Industry-independent" CRM software often hits inflexible barriers during implementation. 2. The AI Revolution: Generative AI is unlocking affordable custom software development. In 3 years, creating software will feel like an AI-conducted interview about your business rules. 3. The Future of Development: We'll shape software through natural language and brainstorming. Perfectly tailored, custom software delivered quickly and cheaply. A new IDE powered by natural language will emerge. The result? True democratization of software creation. No rigid platforms. No coding required. Just your ideas transformed into perfectly tailored solutions. This isn't just evolution. It's a leap into a new era of accessible, powerful software creation. How will this impact your industry? Are you prepared for this shift? #FutureOfCoding #NoCode #SoftwareDevelopment

We're witnessing a revolutionary shift in the application software market. The future of software is here, transforming how we think, create, and innovate. As we embrace these changes, it's crucial to reflect on our journey and the lessons learned. Brett Queener unveils his thoughts on this in his most recent article: "The Three Ages of Application Software." Check it out!
Focused on helping founders build great business software companies. Devoted father, tonal zealot, and unprofessional storyteller.
The application software market of the last 30+ years—including what an independent software company is, its core value proposition, the intrinsic value of the code it builds and why it’s better than others for a customer's needs, and how customers buy, deploy, use, and value that software—is forever changed—starting now. To walk everyone through that change, I thought it best to do it the way I did - which is to reflect on the last three decades of my experience in working and investing in application software companies - specifically on the true helpfulness of the user interface layer to end users. We have come a long way on many fronts across what I call the three ages of application software but, ironically, not far at all in regards to the user interface. - The On-Premise Era - Difficult to deploy and use. We've come a long way. - The Cloud Era - Easier deployment and customization, but still complex for users. We thought we solved it all. We didn't. - The AI Agentic Interface Era - This is where everything changes. The AI Era isn't just incremental progress. It's a fundamental shift in how we interact with software. We're moving from complex interfaces that require users to navigate multiple tabs and screens, to intuitive AI-powered assistants that understand and execute complex tasks through simple conversations. This shift leads to some bold predictions from me for the near future: - A 75% reduction in employee-facing software companies - 50% fewer employee-facing software categories - A potential return to "winner takes most" market dynamics This shift will reshape the software landscape. It's not just about adding AI features—it's about reimagining the entire user experience and how software can truly enhance productivity. For a long in-depth “walk down memory lane” as well as a deep profile on a public software company (AppFolio) that is all-in on Ai in the right way, join me at my Substack. Next week, I will publish what I believe this means for the application software market in general and those founders trying to make their big imprints within it.
