Funding the November release of Database Health Monitor

Can you help fund the next release of Database Health Monitor? I have started an Indiegogo funding campaign for the November release of Database Health monitor.

Not asking for a lot here, just $500 to help fund the next release of Database Health Monitor.

What We Need & What You Get

I am looking to raise $500 (us dollars) to help offset my costs in developing and marketing the next release of the product. In the next release plan to do the following:

• Development work adding 2 additional reports.
• Bug fixing, both bugs reported by customers, and crash reports automatically submitted to the system.
• Additional writing and development of help files and web content, at least 5 new documentation pages.
• Performance improvements to make the program run faster.
• Marketing to increase brand awareness.

Those who contribute will receive the following perks depending on the level of contribution.

• Early release access to all contributors at the $15 level or above.
• Software license code to use the product to all contributors at the $25 level or above, plus benefits of the $15 level.
• 30 minutes of online training with Database Health Monitor to all contributors at the $150 level or above. Includes benefits of the $15 level.

I have kept my goal here small, with just what I need to get the next beta done.  If somehow this campaign doesn’t reach the entire goal, the funds will be split over the above bullet items with a larger percentage going to the marketing to increase brand awareness.

The Impact

Over the last 8 years I have treated this as a hobby. The ongoing releases of Database Health Monitor have been run at over 10,000 locations worldwide, with over 4000 of those using the product over the last 45 days. Database Health is at the point that I can no longer treat it as a hobby, and I would like to take it to the next level.

This product was built out of necessity for me. I have needed this product to regularly tune database performance, often times not being able to justify the cost of purchasing new database hardware. Often times in a large organization the cost of the SQL Server database may be in the $10,000 to $100,000 range and beyond. Database Health monitor helps the programmers and database administrators get more out of that database hardware investment.

So why not help fund the November release of Database Health monitor. Thanks in advance.
