To­day we've up­dat­ed our web­site to re­flect our new busi­ness mod­el: we now only of­fer ser­vices and train­ing to sub­scribers of Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions only...

Why did we do this? There are a few rea­sons, but here are the most im­por­tant ones:

• We've had too many dis­cus­sions with cus­tomers that want­ed ap­pli­ca­tion cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and need­ed the lat­est bug fix­es - but did not want sub­scribe to get them. The fact that they bought de­vel­op­er ac­cess (sup­port) made them feel dis­ap­point­ed when they couldn't get bug fix­es (which re­quires a full sub­scrip­tion as per our poli­cies). This was un­fair to them as well as to­wards our full sub­scribers/cus­tomers for Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions.
• We've had to pro­duce too many cus­tom quotes for peo­ple who were not se­ri­ous about buy­ing our ser­vices in the first place - which kept us from our core busi­ness: im­prov­ing our prod­uct with great fea­tures to the ben­e­fit of both our com­mu­ni­ty and our cus­tomers. Our new mod­el makes a lot of cus­tom quotes un­nec­es­sary and ir­rel­e­vant be­cause every­thing should now be ap­par­ent from mere­ly by vis­it­ing our web shop (let us know if not).

In sum­ma­ry, we think this makes man­ag­ing ex­pec­ta­tions a lot eas­i­er and clear­er on every­body's ac­count. If you think this is un­fair then take a quick look at what the com­pe­ti­tion in open source is do­ing - you'll see that we're not be­ing un­rea­son­able here. You might also want to check with the "com­mer­cial en­ter­prise soft­ware" com­pe­ti­tion to see that their main­te­nance prices alone are an or­der of mag­ni­tude high­er than our sub­scrip­tion cost - not even count­ing their li­cense fees

We have re­leased 3.8 of Atomikos Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions and Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials soft­ware. This re­lease in­cludes a num­ber of new fea­tures in­clud­ing:

• re­designed log­ging for com­pat­i­bil­i­ty with your fa­vorite log­ging frame­work
• per­for­mance im­prove­ments
• OSGi class ex­port im­prove­ments
• an OSGi ex­am­ple ap­pli­ca­tion

You can down­load the re­lease from our web­site.

Your in­put is need­ed for our re­lease plan­ning:
