David, Yes, I am sure that the Versions team has its priorities, but as I stated previously, they are neglecting such a portion of the market where it is a small niche to begin with. Screaming often helps people see what they are missing and jump on it.
This is not working for the Versions team. If a company came to me and said "I am interested in 500 licenses of your product, but you dont have educational pricing" I would not tell them ok, well we will in a few weeks, be patient (especially with the economy so tight and the end of the year coming where organizations need to spend money or lose it) I told Versions this and NADA from them. Not one thing. Nothing. Zilch. Zippo. Cornerstone replied in 2 hours, said we dont normally do this large of sale, lets work it out so both parties benefit and are happy. Then opened communication, asked questions to understand need, timeline, etc -Jason On Nov 29, 2008, at 2:54 PM, David C.
