SOFTWARE DEMOS
A
demo is a small portion or sample of a project. Usually the project is music, videogame,
or computer program. Demos are given to people who are interested in the
product to try it buying and advertise the product. A successful demo is
comprised to two important outcomes
·
As
a whole, everyone comes away with some level of consensus that you’re smart,
self-aware person doing worthwhile things.
·
At
least 1 person in the audience has an “ah-ha” moment and comes away with a
mission to help your product succeed, either by providing a critical feature
idea, a hire candidate, potential partnership, or — in the case of a demo to
investors-the desire to invest.
Software is Magic. A Demo is a Magic Show. All software has
this in common
- There are inputs
- Those inputs are processed by all our hard work and labor that goes into software
- There are outputs nothing short of magical
The objective of any software demo is making potentially
abstract and difficult concepts easy to understand. The software which we
are creating a demo or training video, whether it can be a relatively
complicated concept, the use of motion graphics and multimedia make it easy
which is particularly appropriate for software demo videos as well as software
training videos. For instance, while your software may be extremely useful for
the academic or corporate sectors, but it will not be necessarily interesting
to watch the demo or training for it. Conceivably the software is not as easy
to learn as you’d like it to be.
Here are a few points to consider for the production of
software demo or training videos
Simplicity: The main aim of any video is
simplicity. The video must be very interesting and easy to understand which is
easy to be followed.
Information: Though the information is
simple but the information should be very useful. Every video must have enough
information to solve a customer problem and/or provide necessary training.
Run
time: Every individual in the present world interested in short videos get required information and
understand the video within no time. Run time varies with the concept of demo
how the individual understands.
High production value: Vendors must maintain the high standard
levels that are to be followed for the graphics and techniques which are used
for developing demo videos. The
consumers are used to watching high quality production videos. Your video should
include high quality motion graphics, voice-overs, music, and colors.
When you get to a short
list of approximately 3 software solutions, among most of the vendors
it is time to really find in to evaluate the closest one to one situation
through a proper demo process.People wants to know how the vendors handle their
specific requirements, not just the extra decoration on their standard
presentation. Some of the Tips for the presentation are
- Use a Demo Script
- Prepare the Software Vendor
- Prepare the Demo Evaluation Team
- Assign the Demo Police
- Hold a Demo Review Meeting
