Thursday 20th May was the date for raff.me to be presented to the media. Over 20 journalists from different areas in the media, from newspapers to radios and online news portals attended the event organised together with Microsoft, our technology partner and pasiona, our development partner.
The event started with a quick presentation of the speakers by the moderator, Ariadna Boada who introduced Enrique Fernandez, Microsoft's Director of Development, Ernest Pagès, Raff Ltd's CEO and David Teixidó, pasiona's CEO.
Enrique focused his speech on the vision Microsoft has for the future, giving special emphasis to cloud computing and pervasive computing with the concept of the three screens (computer, telephone & TV). Enrique mentioned the different innovation centres Microsoft is promoting to help universities, entrepreneurs, software vendors etc. improve the knowledge and use of Microsoft Technologies.
When it was my turn, I started the presentation with the video I had previously posted in this blog, which I think explains the raff.me concept in a quick and easy way. Helped by 4 slides, I tried to explain:
· What raff.me is
· The characteristics of the model
· raff.me today
· Short term plans
David Teixido finished the presentation with a quick overview of the implementation process, focusing on the quality and development methodology they use and the challenges they had faced.
A quick tour on the site to see the different types of raffles we are holding and the services offered to users, ended our presentation.
It was the time for questions. There were questions regarding legal aspects and why Malta, questions about the types and value of raffles, choices of payment gateways... etc, which helped in a better understanding of the site.
