We’re excited to let you know that we have released our new Objectives and Key Results feature!
In development for 12 months and thoroughly tested by our largest clients, this provides you with a way to set and meet real objectives in your organization, all backed by actual statistics.
We are pretty excited about this!
We’re also adopting a new pricing model starting 2020. It will only apply to new clients, so this month is your last chance to lock in the current rates.
For our current clients … as a reward for your loyalty and support during our fledgling years, we’re going to keep you on the current pricing—you’re part of our legacy, so the Legacy Pricing applies to you. (You’re welcome😉)
Firstly, let me share with you a little about the Objectives feature.
Our Objectives feature brings together Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) from the book Measure What Matters and adds to it three missing features that no other OKR system has; 1) ALIGNMENT of every objective with a parent objective allowing team and management to drill up and down to see all related objectives, 2) STRUCTURING your objectives with your Org Chart and 3) INTEGRATING the key results of the objectives to live statistics, enabling you to track the progress of those plans without double work.
It’s a system used by the world's tech giants—like Google, LinkedIn, Twitter and Uber as we wrote about here—and we just super charged it!
Using Objectives and Key Results ensures alignment from the top of the organization to the bottom with full visibility for everyone.
Check out how to get started with OKRs in the Help Center.
New Pricing in 2020
During 2019 we’ve added some powerful features, all for free, with some of the big ticket items being:
Integrated Search feature
Individual Graph interface that allows editing, scaling and much more.
Fully customisable Org Chart.
Full Objectives / Key Results system
An API to allow you to query and update envisage automatically
Massive upgrade of back-end system to increase speed and reliability
To be honest, it’s difficult to know what to charge clients for these features because our costs depend on 2 factors:
The cost of development - never a fixed target as we are always improving things and there is always more to build.
The cost of usage - how much server time, power and storage is needed? Not accurately predictable until users start using the system.
We solve these problems by releasing new features, for free, to all or a select few of beta clients and see what happens.
Some of these features, like the Org Chart or Objectives Key Results could be an entire system in itself, and indeed, you can go buy these separately and spend quite a lot of money doing so!
Over time we collect live data so we can accurately determine a fair pricing model.
So, here’s the deal…
In 2020 we’re changing our pricing to $1.00 per graph with storage allocation component.
You can still join envisage for $20 per month, but in 2020 this will get you only 20 graphs, not 40.
We’re determined to make our app the best in its class by providing all features to all users. So our pricing model is designed to increase with usage, not per user. The more graphs and storage you use, the more you pay and vice versa. This means a solo operator can use envisage and so too can a $100 million corporate giant. They both get the same features, the former pays $20 per month, the latter uses more graphs and more storage, so they pay more. Both however have access to unlimited users.
This month is your last chance to lock in the Legacy Pricing of $0.50 per Graph before 2020, so be sure to register and enter your payment details today.
