There's a potential market for an application targeting local BigCo. Today, I found about a local engineering firm providing a similar product packaged with their service. The head of the 'competitor' have more than 20 years in the business (and apparently good connections).<p>I haven't seen their product, but I'm giving it 6 out of 10 on usability/features, for the choice of hosting (and the fact it was developed by an engineering firm).<p>Would you go into such market? What would be a discussion (if any) with the competitor be about?
You let is so broad that it is difficult to answer.
But I'd say that to have to focus on finding differenciation.<p>Your app maybe wouldn't be bundled, or easier to use, or faster or whatever. I say if there is ONLY one competitor there is definitely some room for you, simply because you would bring a alternative.<p>I made an app not so long ago that shows the next bus coming to you in real-time in a french city. I competed against the bus company itself.
I got 5 to 10 more users a day currently, simply because I show the results in one click, when 5 are needed for the official app.
