Interesting. This is kind of what I expected. I was previously an Associate Partner through the Allaire program. Back then Associate Partners actually got Studio in addition to the server products. I actually did get a few leads through Allaire - one in particular has become one of our main clients.
I'm having a hard time seeing the value proposition of the current Associate Partner program. Since Studio is no longer included at this level Associate Partners are basically just getting CF Server. I could easily buy a Pro license for the cost of membership in the program. Alternately, the Enterprise development versions are available to all. I raised this issue because one of our clients is having major ongoing problems dealing with Macromedia on their CF Enterpise subscriptions (MM alternately has no record of their subscriptions or an incomplete record depending on which day you speak to them). At any rate, I've found myself wondering whether or not participating in the Partner program would actually put me in a better position to provide service to my client. At this point I'm inclined to think not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=9 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=9 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
