With over 30,000 demo installs per day, over 500,000 users in the past fifteen years and now over 150,000 users on iOS & Android, this really is a dream come true.ĭuring the early years of FruityLoops, when sales weren’t doing well, did you ever feel like giving up on the project? Nobody could ever predict or expect the success we are having now. Would you say that Image-Line has ended up in place that you expected it to, with regards to sales and support from users? But to be honest, this is only possible because our CFO, Frank Van Biesen, handles all contracts and other financial aspects of the company. I’m proud to say that I more or less embody the paperless office, where 90% of the invoices and payments are on the cloud these days. The result is that 90% of my time is spent in front of my six screen set-up, answering mails and begging our developers via Skype to implement the features our users have been asking for. Since our developers also post on their personal interests, this functions as our virtual coffee machine where we exchange other links, pictures and gossip. Instead we have our internal forums where our developers and sound designers post their latest efforts, and a selection of alpha-testers check it out and leave comments.
Since our employees are scattered all over the world, in places like Australia, Russia, Spain, UK, and Sweden, they all work from home, and we don’t have a traditional office building. Can I ask what your typical work day looks like? I figured it would be a good idea to get some insight into the company by talking to one of it’s main men and CTO, Jean-Marie Cannie, who was kind enough to answer a Q&A about his work.
Image-Line is the company responsible for one of the most widely-used DAWs in the world, FL Studio(formerly known as FruityLoops), and their DJ mixing software, Deckadance, has also seen some success.
