The Washington Post's Platform as a Service Venture
Summary
It takes a substantial engineering effort to maintain and improve any set of commercial software tools. To make it into a $100 million revenue business you need to have all sorts of support people, you need customer success engineers, you need a sales force and you need marketing staff. The Washington Post could release its tools as open source software projects and let others help improve them rather than try to commercialize them itself and have to make a very substantial investment in building the business. Spin-off Arc Publishing as a separate organization and let it raise money rather than it become a constant distraction to management.
