PARADOX product life cycle

Hi Larry,

I think there is a large segment of vertical
market software that fits the service model (e.g.,
hosted) very well.

I think so too. Hopefully the people buying these products will feel the
same way

negating the need for a whole bunch of VAR's,

VARs do more than installation and support, they are also the bulk of your
sales force.

lowering the hassle factor, and hopefully lowering the total cost
of ownership for the end user.

I think you have to weigh all the factors together, but I think there is a
large segment of vertical market software that fits the service model
(e.g.,

Hi all,
As Initiator of this topic (my inocent question about the lifecylce of
PARADOX) I would like to thank for all this replies and thoughst about
the future of this product.
On my request to COREL about the future of PARADOX I got the following
anwer (in German): "Das Programm wird weiter entwickelt. Zur Zeit ist
Paradox entweder als Teil von der WordPerfect Office X3 Professional
oder als einzelne Lizenz erhältlich."
Translation (as good as it gets :-): "The program [PARADOX] will be
developed further. For the time being it is available as part of
WordPerfect Office X3 Professional or as single license". I don't know
if this is just marketing or the truth.
Regards
René
(he because of the single é at the end :-)

To my knowledge Corel keeps Paradox in maintenance mode meaning that no
ongoing development. The folks on www.thedbcommunity.com should be able to
fully answer your questions

Hi,

I'm looking for information about the database product PARADOX from
Corel. Does anybody know if Corel wants to develop this further or will
it die silently? You hardly can find any information about Paradox on
Corel's website (which is paradox to me).

The newest release of Paradox doesn't even have a number on it (is
bundled in WordPerfect Office X3 (Professional Edition only))

I inheritet an application where Paradox was used and I need to assess
the risk when I decide not to migrate to another solution.

Any help is really appreciated!!
Rene

Paradox will see further development? I'd love to believe this,
but all I've heard recently is to the contrary. Can you share
the name of the person at Corel, and the person's job title?
