Any CNMCyber product is a work product of CNMCyber (hereinafter, the Cyber) or is designed as a component of the Cyber. They are belong to one of sub-categories of the "CNM Cyber products" category.
Categories of products
At CNM Wiki, wikipages of Cyber products belong to several categories.
Some products may belong to more than one area. For example, a hands-on training session is a service, but the announcements during it may be for the purpose of being in the market. Apps can be considered software, but apps that are capable and full of content are services first and foremost.
Moreover, a few intermediate products belong to all of the categories and can be considered as Universal.
Corporate-oriented
- For the purposes of this very wikipage, corporate-oriented products refer to those Cyber products that serve the enterprise rather than its customers directly. Basically, the talk is about Cyber administration that covers personnel, legal, financial and organizational issues. Those products are listed in the "CNM corporate products" category and may include:
- Administrative procedures for personnel, financial, accounting and legal operations of the organizational structure behind the Cloud.
- Corporate events, in which real people participate physically or remotely, such as interviews of candidates for contractors, meetings of professionals and conferences for potential participants. A separate section of this wikipage, Meetings, is dedicated to them.
- Partnerships, which are contractual agreements to mutually develop and market offers. Historically, the Team partnered with two Microsoft stores, in Pentagon City Mall and Tysons Corner Center, several employers, training providers, governmental, and non-profit organizations.
- Positions, which are documented workplaces of associates included in the organizational structure. This very wikipage is the development of one of Cyber positions. Moreover, the Coords are welcomed to own their role, which assumes both (a) developing and updating general instructions, policies, and/or recommendations for the Coords and (b) contributing to and grooming of the backlog of the Coord's tasks at CNMCyber Usable and related wikipages.
- Relationships with potential and existing clients such as exhibitors, contractors and partners. Stakeholders are involved in communications through (a) hiring contractors to turn those descriptions that the Customer approved into the Cyber products, (b) hiring employees for developed positions, (c) participation of potential Cyber participants in events organized by the project.
- Structures such as an organizational structure to organize the work of Team; their rights and duties are determined by positions.
Customer-oriented
- For the purposes of this very wikipage, customer-oriented products refer to those Cyber products that are designed to serve the customers, but not marketed separately. At the Cyber, any Marketable is a package of "customer-oriented products". Those products are listed in the "CNM customer products" category and may include:
- Content, such as texts, illustrations and multimedia materials that can be used in CNM apps.
- Customer support for end-users, potential participants and partners of the Cyber.

- Information resources for attracting potential partners and clients of the Cyber, such as websites, social media materials, and mailing lists, as well as standard messages, invitations and advertisements.
- Obviously, there are some interconnections between products areas. For instance, any CNM app needs its content and so on. At the Cyber, Software products are not considered as customer-oriented products since the Cyber doesn't offer software on the market.
Personnel development
- In terms of the development of human resources, the results of the work of the Coord can be:

- CNM Farms, including tools for their high availability and recovery.
- Opplet that serves both end-user applications called CNM apps and end-users directly.

- For the purposes of this very wikipage, universal products refer to those Cyber products that belong to all of the product categories. They include:
- Labor resources. All products require someone's work on them. Thus, sourcing, selecting, onboarding, and development of labor resources belong to every of the categories.

The Coords execute the overwhelming majority of testing while obtaining other deliverables or simply utilizing existing Cyber products such as this very wikipage.

In particular, the executive officer assigns projects to the Coordinators, places advertisements for hiring contractors, gives the coordinators recruiter access and pays the project budgets. The executive director can be called a "super-coordinator". If the Coords work on one endeavor, which they choose on their own, the executive is responsible for the entire group of developments and operations, including finance, personnel, administration of the Coords, and so on. At the moment, the Customer plays the role of Cyber executive, but he does it temporarily, until such a person or people are found.
- CNM Cyber Recruiters ensure that the recruiting process is in place, there are candidates for Coords and, with the approval of the Customer, for other full-time positions in the recruiting "pipeline", and also advise on those developments that relate to recruiting. In their projects, the Coords also play the role of recruiters and take over the hiring of contractors. Unlike recruiters, the Coords discuss requirements and other project documents with candidates. The Coords turn to recruiters in cases where their own competencies or resources are not enough to attract contractors.

- CNM System Administrators ensure the stability of the Cloud's operations and advise on technological developments.

- More positions are available through Cyber partners. The Economic Group is constantly looking for new opportunities for Cyber customers.
Partnerships
- The Team produces itself just three market exchangeables, which are (a) Certified IT Project Management Associate (CITPMA) certification, (b) CNMCyber (as web-based resources), and (c) the first three stages of WorldOpp Pipeline. However, it markets not only services that it produces.
- All the other services are produced by Cyber partners. To source, select, contract, onboard, and retain partners, the Team must offer partnerships on the market. There are three basic patterns of partnerships:
- Cyber partners offer the Cyber marketables to their customers.
- The Team offers partner's marketables to its customers.
- Cyber partners and the Team together develop new marketables.
- The Team assembles partners' marketables and, altogether with its own ones, positions and promotes them on the market.
Professional networks
- Human connections is the key to many jobs; that is why the Team is building its professional networks including:
- CNM industry councils. Groups of professionals who work in the industries related to the Cyber.

- Attract prospective contractors, customers, and partners.

- Generate revenues. Some events come in the freemium mode; basic events are free-of-charge; however, some extras might be paid.
- Those events are combined in series such as:
- CNMCyber This Week. The series of free-of-charge events that the Coords organize to exchange ideas, to present new developments and plans, as well as to market their work.
- CNMCyber Guided Tours. The series of freemium-mode events that are organized to present technologies of the Cyber. The basic attendance is free-of-charge; hands-on access to the technologies and/or one-on-one consultations are paid.
