StageOne Developers Alliance Program Details

Signing up for the Developer's Alliance is simple; just call or email us. Here are the details of the program:

Cost and Benefits

The cost to join the program and receive a SODA account is €400 per year but is waived if you deploy an application during that year. This cost includes setup of one application and 100 meg of hosted space on the server. Additional server space is available at a nominal rate. Scheduled online group training is generally offered at no cost, and engineering consulting and special training is offered at a discounted rate of €50 per hour.

StageOne is a hosted system. SODA members receive a username and password which may be used to deploy a real application. In their own account, they can develop any CRM, CMS, extranet, email campaign, or custom solution (web application) and present it to their customers. The rapid prototyping environment with custom control panel and open CFML API enables you to deliver full-featured demos in days, and complete web solutions in weeks, not months.

Once your customer is ready to take possession of your deliverables, they pay for a deployment license (or you can pay for the license and invoice your customer with reasonable markup). This way, there is almost no up-front cost to you until you are ready to "go live."

You have your choice of billing your client monthly, quarterly, or annually, paying license fees starting at as little as €200/month. These arrangements are flexible, depending on the nature of your application and customer(s). No matter how you wish to bill or charge your client, you will always receive a statement up front and in writing specifying our license fees.

Eligibility

SODA is open to all ColdFusion Certified Developers, Adobe ColdFusion Partners (any tier), and any in-house IT organization that has standardized on ColdFusion. Eligibility is conferred on a per-case basis if you do not have these credentials. While we welcome all developers, because of the free support we provide, we reserve the right to restrict participation in the program.

This offer is currently open to UK and Irish residents and companies. You must sign a reseller agreement, and you must agree to conform with the terms of the StageOne license, applicable intellectual property and copyright laws, and the SODA program rules.

Training and Support

StageOne online help and documentation is provided at no cost. Online training will be scheduled on a rolling basis, to meet developer's requests. Support is available through email, and generally receives 24-hour response (sometimes just a few hours). Developers with sizable projects and in-house IT organizations will generally receive consulting and telephone support (it's in all our best interests for you to succeed).

Co-Branding and Co-Marketing

SODA partners may list their participation on their web sites (we provide approved logos), and may be listed on the AllEire, EireBiz, StageOne.ie, and Specific Impulse web sites. Partners who provide ongoing and repeat business will be eligible for co-branded marketing collateral and will be invited to participate in co-branding and co-marketing activities.

SODA partners will generally be allowed, with prior approval of creatives and subject to Irish and EU regulations and US CAN-SPAM compliance, to use StageOne Broadcast for their own marketing efforts, provided that marketing materials mention StageOne.
