[cfaussie] Re: Why buy into CF?

I think Microsoft have the advantage over Adobe in that .Net is just one part of a whole solution that they can provide. When you get windows you get .Net. If you buy CRM, you get .Net. So when it comes time to do new projects or want to customise existing solution or want to integrate into their systems - what are you going to use?

And as easy and as wonderful as ColdFusion is - it is going to be a hard push to convince people to *buy* another product that in their eyes does the same thing.

How do you compete with free*?


* free may not actually mean won't cost money :-)

I agree with Jeremy on this one too.
It may be well and good to promote a strong grassroots love for CF in
the developer community, but with a complete absence of visibility to
the decision making tier of businesses (a group which is almost
mutually exclusive to the developer community), it gets very hard for
the developers to argue the case for this 'unknown' solution, and
senior management just doubt the developers strong opinions (or worse,
start to consider them zealots), as its seems to senior management that
the developers suggestions are in complete disconnect to what senior
management can see of the market.
I don't know if advertising is the solution, and I accept that its very
expensive, but something needs to be done to raise CFs visibility to
the non developer community.
