The OpenEdge Hive

I am conducting a survey of consultants with a specialization in Progress OpenEdge and other products from PSC. Participants will receive aggregated results which should prove interesting for your consulting practice.

The goal of the survey is to provide information about the market to Progress consultants. We are interested in your experiences in the current economy, as well as the kind of services you provide to clients, how far you travel to client sites, how and where you get new clients, your experiences with legacy code bases, your participation in PUGs, etc.

We are interested in consultants with a long history, as well as those who have just begun in the consulting realm. We are looking for individuals who own consulting firms and employees of firms with a consulting division, regardless of their role in the firm.

Of course, the more consultants who speak with me, the more interesting the results of the survey will be. The survey should take about 45 minutes of your time (it can also be abbreviated if you wish). The survey is best conducted orally (better to catch nuances, muttered comments, jokes, etc.:). Unfortunately, the only language I speak well enough to conduct the survey is English, but a limited survey can be conducted via email if spoken English is too difficult.

I am working as a research consultant in association with Computing Integrity (http://www.cintegrity.com) which is a longtime Progress Application Partner with a specialization in modernizing legacy code bases.

This may be the first and only survey of Progress consultants. I hope you will decide to participate. Send an email to TdeV at bstw dot com.

Thanks in advance for your interest.
