We are a dinosaur in terms of tech years but we are\nrunning strong and planning for the next ten. As AI has disrupted the industry\nwe have been pushed to figure out how opsZero lives in this new world. While\nthere has been messaging that the recent layoffs are due to AI, we don’t ascribe\nto that. The period of low interest rates caused a spike in hiring for a growth\nthat never materialized and the layoffs are the culmination of a failure of that\nbet. The CapEx on AI doesn’t help but AI is becoming a convenient reason to\nperform layoffs.
\nWhile we are bullish on AI in the long run, the AI currently is still in the 90s\ndotcom phase. Who the winners will be are still up in the air and there is a\nmassive amount of investment money sloshing around so the eventual winner may\ncome out of left field. However, the recent Iran war will push energy prices up\nleading to the unit economics of AI being disrupted. This is not to say AI will\nnot be used, it just means that it will be used within specific fields: defense\nand healthcare being the two primary areas. With energy prices going up due to\nthe Iran War, datacenters and their consequential increase in energy prices will\nnot sit well with citizens.
\nFurther, the SaaSocolypse, attributed to the increased effectiveness of AI, has\npushed down the value of SaaS companies which are also loaded up with an immense\namount of debt due to Private Credit. We will see if this leads to a crash in\nthe market, but this does fundamentally changes the nature of American SaaS. The\ngulf countries are a massive investor in the technology industry in the US\ninvesting heavily into AI through private equity, private credit, and the public\nmarkets. With these countries now questioning the value of the petrodollar, the\nfuture of investments from these countries is looking wobbly especially when\nthese countries can invest in other countries with a potential for higher\nreturns. This is also based on a notion that these countries will return back to\nnormal once the war is completed.
\nIt is this economic environment that opsZero finds itself trying to plan for its\nsecond decade. It is when the World Order changes that one can find immense\nopportunities. As the structures of the old order cease, new ones are formulated\nwith new rules in play. And the place we find ourselves in at this particular\nmoment is the collapse of the dollar.
\nAll signs point to the American dollar losing value, scarcity of resources, and\nstagflation. While we have seen the first order effects of the Iran War which\nare higher gas and diesel prices we haven’t seen the second and third order\neffects. From an American standpoint, food prices will go up, medicine prices\nwill go up because nearly 40% of medicine in America comes from India, there\nwill be metal and aluminum shortages, if Hormutz stays closed and Helium doesn’t\nget through there will be microchip shortages. These shortages can be temporary,\na year or two, or can be extended. It all depends on the extent of the damage\nthat results from an eventual ground invasion.
\nopsZero never became a SaaS company preferring the path of services. While this\nlimited our upside in terms of revenue, it has made us nimble and able to change\ndirections as the winds of the economy change. We believe that many SaaS\ncompanies will convert to being services companies in the future. With AI, SaaS\nwill need to customize for a particular customer, not just sell a one size fits\nall. This will be, ironically, a return to the traditional business model of\nOracle, IBM, or SAP that focus heavily on customizing their offerings for their\nFortune 500 customers.
\nAs AI changes the nature of the game on how quickly companies can be formed, we\nhave moved to a world where small efficient companies will be the norm.\nCompanies with fewer customers as there will be more competition, but customers\nwith deeper focus. In a sense, future SaaS companies are going to become\ntraditional businesses with a large service components, they will not be\ntraditional VC hypergrowth companies. We can say that this is caused completely\nby AI, but with less capital to go around this will become more the norm in\nterms of business.
\nSo opsZero is going to double down on our services model as it is the model for\nthe next decade. We are doubling down on our investment in India. As the cost of\ncapital goes up, the inevitable outcome is a lowering of costs and\nIndia provides a better cost structure compared to the West. The recent\nlayoffs in America have not lead to any mass layoffs in India, for example.\nLastly, we believe that services will be accelerated with technology being in\nsupport. So whether there is a Human or AI being the frontend there will still\nbe technology in the backend.
\nThe outcome of this is that organizations will want Human, AI, and Software as\npart of their expected interaction while being provided that value at a lower\ncost. How we deliver this will be a blog post a decade from now.

\nFurther, we believe that SaaS has become saturated. There is a SaaS solution for\nnearly everything and we are getting to a point of diminishing returns. We\nmissed the boat on the SaaS train, but honestly we are not super worried about\nit. We think embedding deeper with customers and becoming long term partners is\nmore meaningful for us.

Our business is Cloud Infrastructure and our long term plan is to\nbecome a Platform for Cloud + AI. However, each vertical has domain specific\nknowledge we lack and do not have a large team while limits our reach.
\nWhen I look at opsZero's failures it has been largely around going into new\nverticals alone. If opsZero goes at a vertical alone we had to figure out the\nmarket, the marketing, and sales. It creates the onus on us to deliver and sell\nand learn a new industry. Even if we move horizontally within an industry we\nwill still need to context switch as we sell from startups to governments to\nhealthcare. This prevents us from focusing on a single vertical making our\ngrowth feel haphazard and lacking focus. We need teams single threaded focused\non each vertical.
\nTraditionally, a company that wants to grow its business either hires people\nwith expertise to build that business or buys a business that has those\nrelationships. The problem with that is it becomes a capital expenditure where a\nfailure means a total loss, partnerships allow us to make entering new verticals\nan operational expenditure. This reduces the cost of launching and testing\nsomething new and attacking it with people who are already knowledgeable.
\nOur goal long term with opsZero is to build a bazaar style platform servicing\nthe needs of multiple verticals cobuilt with partners. We will become a\ndistribution focused company with the current services becoming another\n“partner” within the ecosystem. Our buckets are Cloud and AI. All our products\nand services should live within these two buckets. And each service we release\nshould have a partner who is responsible for servicing it.
\nThis changes the organizational structure of the company to be like a startup\nstudio or incubator. While we should sell a cohesive whole to our customers,\nbehind the scenes it can be our partners who service the end result for a\nparticular vertical while we complement them with our value add.
\nOur release methodology will change to the following:
\nThe things we can do with a partner are three fold:
\nFor the last decade opsZero has been a service’s first business. We built up a\nrepository of deep knowledge about the Cloud and AI and accumulated various\npartnerships to boot. However, the problem is what does opsZero do becomes\nharder to explain. We do so many different things as a services company that it\nis becoming impossible to explain to customers what we do concisely.
\nSo to both simplify the business and to make it easier to explain to potential\ncustomers our value we are breaking apart opsZero into various parts:
\nYes, we are splitting opsZero into five specialized businesses.
\nSecond, we are turning these businesses into product first businesses. This\nallows us to build out our offerings in scalable ways with focused leadership on\neach product and a set of KPIs that allow each business to scale independently.
\nAt this point we have leadership for each of these subbusinesses including Sohan\nfor Kubespot, Lokesh for DBAZero, Swarup for DiscountCloud, and Vamsi for\ndeepfacts.ai. We are excited to see how we can scale each of these businesses.
\nSo what does this mean for opsZero?
\nopsZero is becoming a company focused on bringing cloud native software to\nmarket. While we are starting with the five new products our long term goal is\nto bring additional products to market.
