I am not familiar with THE SOLUTIONS GUIDE, but I am familiar with the Informix Independent Vendor Catolog and the Informix InSync Catalog for marketing partners. I assume THE SOLUTIONS GUIDE is similar. These should all be available FREE through Informix sales. I believe there are hundreds of companies selling Informix products and this would probably tend to make the list a bit unwieldy. The Informix catalogs are at least somewhat organized by type of product. I would suggest that we provide the names of these Informix product catalogs and how to get a hold of them. I also know that there is a yearly deadline for getting into these catalogs. It might be appropriate to maintain a brief list somewhere of new products/services which have not yet made it into the most recent catalogs. Perhaps this could be an FAQ vendor supplement since it would need to change frequently.
