From a business perspective, this is the best comment of any thread I have ever read at Boonex. I am an executive IT professional with over 20 yrs experience. I have been involved with many large corporate software implementations and development projects along with many small business software implementations. I am amazed at the dramatic contrast between the vision and quality of the Boonex product releases versus the quality of follow-up service, support, training and licensing.

Boonex see more appears to be at a serious crossroads on their business model. The customer expectations created by the announcement of release 7 versus the reality of it's availability is a serious business blundor. Having the product released when it's actually ready is not the problem, it's the product planning, project management discipline and communications approach that has created a concern for me and I assume for many users and potential paying customers. The is a common mistake for many startups and inexperience software vendors. Some survive and some do not. Ultimate survival usually depends on the strength of the competition (e.g., Joomla, phpBB, Wordpress) and the soundness of the company's business model. :).

Per JUKER's advice, I wish you luck in striking deals or having serious business conversations with professional management consultants or experienced executives who can take you to the next level in business operations. Where would Bill Gates or Michael Dell be if they had not taken the business of business as seriously as their products? Each where innovative, but they did seek experienced help. I truely wish you well, because I have a ton of money making ideas that can leverage a stable and reliable Boonex suite. However, as with all business endeavors, a business person (i.e., most of your customers) must assess the cost / benefits, reliability and risk of their business infrastructure and vendor relationships.

Let me know if I can help with more specifics in private or in public.

Good luck,
Spotman
