How odd... Strange times we live in :) LOL! How about selling IDS without a salesforce? Yeah that's the ticket. Only enough IT Specialists to barely support the major IDS clients, while they are also cross trained on DB2? Yeah that's the ticket! Sell IDS via channels and BPs. Strange times we live in where the sales force is being outsold by their "partners". I know that there are a couple of old time IBMers rolling in their graves over that one.

Isn't it true for Progress database also. Their own sales is much less than that of VARs who build their products on Progress.

Progress. Haven't heard about that one for many moons. Microcenter used to use it back in the 80's and 90's. Not sure what they are doing these days. Last I heard, they were getting away from the database and focusing on their connectivity and other products. > From: dcruncher4@aim.com > Subject: Re: IBM releases #1 TPC-E benchmark! > Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:48:20 -0700 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > In article <5d2aae9e-8781-4c71-a043-5e3b8728d988@a70g2000hsh.googlegroups.com>, > Ian Michael Gumby says... > > >Strange times we live in where the sales force is being outsold by > >their "partners". > > Isn't it true for Progress database also.
