Hello,
I am very new on this forum and I wanted to field some questions regarding the viability of selling A5 Web applications in a SMB (Small- Mid sized Business) as well as in corporate America.
Before I ask my question(s), I just want to say that I am skilled in Coldfusion, PHP and a much lesser know language called Tango. So I have some skill with web development and very good base in relational databases such as MS_SQL Server, Oracle and mySQL.
I am looking for a development environment that is much more structured and hopefully can reduce my development time, hence A5V8 caught my eye. It has a nice easy interface - seems to have a learning curve, like any other product but not really that hard.
It is my intent to sell customized solutions to a variety of markets (anywhere that I can make a profit), so it is my hope that A5 can significantly reduce my development time. Again I am looking to focus on the development and deployment of Web based applications.
So my questions are as follows.
1> What have been your experiences in selling solutions made with this product?
2> Most technical people know of .NET or Java, at least those persons who have some knowledge in software development. What is the reaction when you propose an A5 solution?
3> How is Alpha's pricing model. Is it prohibitive to that of A5 competitors?
4> How is Alpha's support. Can you get an answer when you need it?
5> I see that Alpha has a Certified Solution Provider program which I assume has a referral program. Any comments on this would be appreciated.
Any other comments or experiences would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for the time and consideration regarding this post.
Best wishes..
-Jeff
