I have had a similar negative dealing with AbleCommerece. When they were in Florida or something and afterwards when they moved to Washington. We did not engage in either instance but their client list spoke volumes. Our issue was trying to speak to a technical rep and make the sales guy be quite. All we wanted was to see the backend diagram. But never got it. We ended up hiring expensive contractors and broke it up into pieces. I appreciate you Mike stepping in speaking here, if we cross paths and should come across another need, you would be contacted. my 2 cents...

Duane Boudreau FIRED by client Hello Everyone, I'm done listening to Duane Boudreau chiming in... About AbleCommerce. When Duane dropped the ball on an AbleCommerce project and was FIRED by the client he was obviously left with some hard feelings ...The project was quickly done by a real CF Programmer. (being as PC as I can be) Out techical support is second to NONE, we answer our phone we quickly resolve issues. You don't get a real company to stand behind a product for free. We were recently reviewed against IBM and Microsoft's commerce products and did very well.
