I just wanted to pass along a VFP success story of sorts. Hopefully, this will be of interest to some of you.
Over the last 2.5 years, our company, The Intellection Group (http://www.IntellectionGroup.com <http://www.intellectiongroup.com/> ), has worked with a particular client in building a complex extranet system using our VFP-based technology framework. Last Friday, this same client received an important award from the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), beating out over 50 other nominees, for "innovative use of technology" by a "tech-enabled" company. The award ceremony was held at the posh Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead (Atlanta) in front of an audience of almost 400. Matthew Szulik, chief executive officer of Red Hat, was the keynote speaker. Marc Fleury, chief executive officer of JBOSS (a recent Red Hat acquisition), was chairperson of the event. VFP is not mentioned anywhere in either the citation or nomination; but, then, neither are any of the other technology pieces involved (SQL Server, Javascript, etc.) The point is, an "award-winning" system was successfully created for a business that really needed it. The technology involved is not the most important thing; by far the most important thing is solving the business need with the right mix of tools and people. VFP, in the hands of talented people, can be part of a great technology solution package; for our company, it will continue to be an integral part of our toolbox for the foreseeable future because it delivers results for our clients.
