What’s the schedule for the Rosslyn applications?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

As you can see at the bottom of our site we currently have 5 applications listed. Here’s a vague scope for the applications, as well as the schedule for development.

  1. White Label Points
    This will be our flagship application. A points based incentive platform for Predicted closed beta release is late 2010.
  2. Monkey Off
    A fun little mini app that utilises Twitter (yes another one :) ). The application will act a problem solver for the community whilst utilising different platforms with a fun, intuitive interface. The monkey himself is currently stock but we’re getting Brian THE illustrator to produce an uber monkey shortly. Basic launch March 2010.
  3. Toolbar Heroes
    A simple “everyday tools” site and set of plugins. The tools will have the function for calculations, translations and randomness. From there you’ll be able to export the data into the required format and structure ready for the integration with your system/data. Basic launch May 2010.
  4. Gig Reflex
    The progression of a site developed a couple of years ago. We scrapped the initial version as we needed a rethink. The rethink brought lots of ideas to the table. We’re keeping these to our chest right now and being even more vague :)
  5. Gamer’s Pledge
    A charity application that integrates with gaming sites and charity systems to bring a more positive message to gaming, as well as a more structured method of fun. Anyone who has experienced Xbox Live will understand how it’s full of very unlikeable people (or how I call them: cretins), and finding a good community makes it the experience it should be. Development and networking will be started in August/September.

We’ve even surprised ourselves for how vague these descriptions are. We’ll keep you posted on the blog with updates for each application. Monkey and WhiteLP being the priority.

Welcome to Rosslyn Digital

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Rosslyn Digital Ltd was founded by Jonathan Lee and Michael Austin, and began trading 1st January 2010. There are two sides to our business; Publishing and Production & Services.

‘Publishing’ refers to the creation of web and mobile based assets which have been developed by us and will be operated for the benefit of our business.

‘Production & Services’ describes the contract software development and associated services we provide to third parties for a fee.

History

During 2008 Jonathan’s company (Rosslyn Promotions Ltd) hired Michael’s company (Circa82 Media Ltd) to create its web site and to provide web development for its client base.

After a year of working together, Jonathan and Michael decided to join forces to create Rosslyn Digital Ltd. Rosslyn Promotions Ltd is currently celebrating its 15th annivesary and continues to supply promotional merchandise and incentives to many well known organisations.

Publishing

We already have five digital assets in production. They will operate in the following fields; Business services, social media and entertainment.

Each asset has its own business model and marketing plan.

In some cases revenue will be gleaned from service fees, set-up charges and subscriptions with advertising revenue supporting the others.

It is also likely that we will develop assets that generate no immediate revenue, their potential sale value being driven by the number of users or level traffic they generate.

Going forward, we intend to create a portfolio of assets including smart-phone applications and on-line stores.

Production & services

Many businesses now attach far greater importance to their digital marketing activity. This is leading to strong demand for site upgrades and additional services such as email marketing and more recently, the creation and management of a social media presence.

Our strategy is to encourage clients to make better use of the opportunities digital marketing affords.
