Development perspectives

International expansion

Our application regards only the French Antilles. Even if this region is concerned by many natural disaster risks, this region is home to only 817 106 people, or about 1,26 % of the French population and 0,011 % of the world population.

Our goal is to cover the entire world population. The French Antilles is just a test phase to identify the different problems and concerns of our application, its financing and its promotion before to develop it in other part of the world.

Our international expansion project is simple. We want to develop our application in different world areas but one by one.
We have cut the world in 14 areas : Caribbean and Central America, Northern America, South America, Oceania and South-Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia, Central Asia and Russia, Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Africa, Western Africa, Southern Africa, Eastern Europe and Western Europe. Each area includes in average 17 territories and 519 441 910 inhabitants.

Before launching our application, we need to adapt our application at the world area. First of all, it is necessary to translate our application and its functionalities in different official languages of the different territories. Then we have to establish partnerships with the state and its agencies, with private sector and with charities in each territories of these world area. A communication action has also to be developed in each territories in the world area just before the launching of our application in order to make our application know to the public.

For each world area, Safe Together has to employ one person to establish partnerships, one computer developer (to create and manage the application) and a communication officer (to launch the communication action and manage social networks). A director will be hired for each area in order to coordinate the work of each team.

Our international expansion could be achieved in 10 years. In 10 years, Safe Together will be composed of 14 teams. 42 people will work for our application (14 area directors, 14 communication officers, 14 mobile developers and 14 partnership officers). Safe Together will have launched 233 communication operations.

Draft Budget

We create a draft at year 5 and year 10. It represents our goal, our objectives.

As for the launching budget, the draft budget at year 5 and at year 10 are in balance.

To calculate this draft budget, we made some hypothesis that we exposed you :

• We will, on average, extend the app to 1.4 area per year.
• We estimate that 6 months are necessary to extend our application to a new area for each platform
• The task “Development” includes the application maintenance costs (17,000€)
• We estimate that we have to launch on average 23.3 communication operations by year.
• Each communication operation will cost 60,000 €
• We estimate that the server costs would increase to 10,000€ per year as from year 3 due to an increase of users, which means more data to gather and store
• We estimate that the average annual gross salary for an area director is to 35,000€, the average annual gross salary for a communication officer is to 28,000€ and the average annual gross salary for a partnership officer is to 28,000€.
