StageOne™ Developers Alliance (SODA)The StageOne Developers Alliance is designed to support the network of Macromedia® ColdFusion® developers who want to use StageOne as a rapid development platform for their company's or clients' web sites and eBusiness applications. About StageOneStageOne is a highly customizable control panel built around a flexible meta-content database. In just a few hours you can design and manage the information architecture and database schema of your web site or eBusiness application, and your users can immediately begin storing documents, data, web content, and other information. StageOne makes it easy to develop web templates and interfaces, using familiar CFML markup. It includes sample templates as well as a simple API for pulling data and files out of the control panel database. Plus we offer coding and SQL support to developers with special application needs. StageOne is far more than a web content management system. It's a complete eBusiness platform, designed to manage virtually any business information, including back-office transactional data and customer records. It includes fully-developed eMarketing applications, such as email campaign management, pay-per-click keyword tracking, and customer relationship management, as well as useful features like publishing workflow and web template management.
ColdFusion-powered web site and application development has never been faster or easier. StageOne includes dozens of customizable control panel modules to manage every type of structured information, from documents, products, and web content to people, places, and events. First released in 2000, StageOne 5.0 now boasts advanced components that make it the clear choice over more limited CMS systems:
StageOne has time-saving features like the graphical WYSIWYG web editor and the "Webmaster Pro" HTML tag editor, and collaboration features like publishing workflow and notification. But most important, StageOne enables ColdFusion developers to create database-driven web sites rapidly, effortlessly, and securely, while dramatically reducing cost and risk. Learn More about the Alliance ProgramIf you are a ColdFusion developer or ColdFusion IT organization, you owe it to yourself to learn more about StageOne:
If StageOne is for you, signing up for the Developer's Alliance is simple. Here are the details: Cost and BenefitsThe cost to join the program and receive a SODA account is $400 per year. This cost includes setup of one application and 25 meg of hosted space on the server. Additional server space is available at a nominal rate (typically $1 per meg/month). Scheduled online group training is generally offered at no cost, and engineering consulting and special training is offered at a discounted rate of $50 hour. StageOne is available in two configurations, standalone and hosted. SODA members get a username and password to the hosted system. In their own account, they can develop a 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." Your customer has the choice of remaining with a hosted solution, starting at as little as $150/month, or transferring to a standalone license. Standalone licenses start at $10,000. Through an arrangement with Intermedia.net, you can also have the entire StageOne-powered solution set up on a hosted account for as little as a $49 per month hosting fee (includes domain hosting and email accounts). These arrangements are flexible, depending on the nature of your application and customer(s). IT departments standardized on ColdFusion may be eligible for a fee waiver. EligibilitySODA is open to ColdFusion Certified Developers, Macromedia 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. (Just call us to discuss your project.) We reserve the right to restrict participation in the program. This offer is currently open to US 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 SupportStageOne 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-MarketingSODA partners may list their participation on their web sites (we provide approved logos), and may be listed on the Specific Impulse web site. 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 CAN-SPAM compliance, to use StageOne Broadcast for their own marketing efforts, provided that marketing materials mention StageOne.
