November will be a great month for idebaik. Happy clients, new projects coming, there is no better way for us to be proud of what we have accomplished so far since we bought the company almost 8 months ago.

We are currently working on several projects, such as :

- Cheese Cake Factory (Online Shopping with intuitive admin panel to manage orders in one click)

- Riva Restaurant (part of Hotel Park Lane Jakarta – voted as South-East Asia best restaurant by Asia Tatler!)

- MOIE (Designer Furniture show-room located in Jakarta and Singapore)

- PAMA 2011 Calendar

- Coldwell Banker Intranet (fully working with Ajax)

All these projects will be 100% finished before the end of the month.

We are also finally working on our 5th in-house project since one week (After indonesiaclubbing.com, icmini.com, indoclubbing.tv and vv.vg), which will be a new concept of Clothing Online Store. This project is quite exciting since more than just being an online shopping with everything you could find in a common site of this type – and even more ! – it allows us to think about every aspect of an online project. Managing stocks, marketing, promotion, and more.

As a startup business, we still have to go through that long and windy road to climb up to reach for success, but we are happy, excited and motivated with this new business venture.

We have created and managed several online shopping so far already, but never as the owner – just as developer.  This sure will be a helluva experience and we know it’s not gonna be easy; a new friend within the Indonesia startup circle gave us a really nice quote, something to think of and something to plan far in advance to be prepared and to prevent this from happening:

“80% of startups will fail within their first year, and 80% from the rest surviving 20% will fail within the first 5 years.”

–> A statistic taken from Michael Gerber’s book “The E Myth – Why Small Business Fails and What To Do About It”.

But one that never tries will never know the sweet taste of success. But goes without saying, we don’t do it just like that – we jump with both feet in and do all the math behind first to make sure that this new thing won’t go bust. It’s a robust business plan that we need – and we’re gathering the backbones right now to make the whole process easier.

PS: We’ve also found a name, but it remains to be officially announced!
