Guenter,

I know that VFP pros did not get used to these kind of prices, but lets look for alternatives: IBM WebShephre portal starts with $30,000 per CPU, which is $120,000 for quad CPU box, while our portal is $9,995 with unlimited CPU, unlimited user access and free developer/admin licence. We actually offer one of the most affordable commercially available portal on the market.

Crystal Reports is offered at almost $10,000 per 5 concurrent user liscence and almost 2,000 per enterpise developer lisence. We offer our WebReport at $3,995 with unlimited concurrent user liscence and free developer/admin liscence, etc.

Arnica products are positioned as a very affordable solutions for enterprise web-based data-driven solutions, currently dominated by Java.

Arnica also offers Arnica Developer Network, where almost all products are included and offered together on a subscription bases at $1,999 per developer.

You have to make a choice whether or not you are trying to compete on a contemporary web-based enterpise arena or are scoped to only old-technology client-server or single-user applications development. We give VFP developers tools to go against Java-based solutions and build enterpise-strength web-based solutions with VFP. And we are looking for partners in Europe...
