I wanna refine data!
Buy our BI tool!
Does it solve my problem?
Probably not. But you can
pretend it does! Most of
our customers do so!
Then why should I buy it?
It’s fun to play with and
creates pretty reports!
No thanks.
Hey, don’t go! Buy now

Why buy when Hi there! Can you
you can use refine data?
free open
source tools... Sure! Our open source
community has made great
free data analysis tools!
Can they handle my data?
Well, some of it. But you can
extend the tool with your own
data wrappers and algorithms!
I’m not a software developer...
Too bad. I guess you’re
not a scientist either..?
Nope.
Then you should probably find
one. You know, these tools are
developed by scientists for
scientists and normal people
usually find them complicated..

Work for me!
Why? I work here as a
researcher and enjoy it.
Then refine
my data!
Why don’t you use
algorithms for that?
Algorithms? I don’t
have any - could you
create one for me?
My algorithms are
described in academic
publications....
They make my head
ache. I just want an
application!
Maybe you should talk
to my professor...

In my understanding, you are
proposing a joint research project
between your company and the
University. Is that correct?
Errh... I
guess so?
Then we must apply for
public funding and find
international partners
Money and more
scientists? Sounds
good! When do I get
the results?
In fact, we get the money and
expect you to fund the project
also. A small project like this
can be completed in 2-3 years.
What?! That doesn’t work.
I need the solution NOW!
Hrmh, we are NOT a software house.
Try using commercial services.

Mr. BizMan, I’m now ready to make our offer
for the algorithm development project
Gee, that was fast...
I suggest we do this project using
the Agile Development method
What does that mean?
We develop in two week
sprints – payment in advance
So, when will it be ready?
Impossible to estimate
How good will the algorithm be?
Absolutely no idea.
And how much will this project cost?
Totally irrelevant question. Listen, dude...
After every sprint we show you a demo and
you tell us what to do next. It’s ready when
you decide so. Do we have a deal...? <Click>...

That was fast and easy! Those smart
