It seems that very few folks are acknowledging the power of MyEclipse in the marketplace these days. The focus of media coverage primarily remains on the legacy tools solutions that are successful with the “top-down” sales model for the enterprise.
However, with the unique business model of Genuitec and the bottom-up approach to sales, the adoption rate of MyEclipse has skyrocketed.
Take these numbers as an example:
500,000+ users
12,000+ corporations
150 countries
4 million+ downloads
50 product releases in 4 years
100% growth forescasted for 2007
It's hard to argue with those rates, but the mainstream media, surveys and coverage still focus on tool vendors (and their products) who don't specialize in tools. Legacy companies create tools not as a revenue generator, but as a cost (or at best break-even) center to sell support, services and hardware, thereby locking you in to their solutions.
Genuitec will continue to support customers of all levels by providing the highest quality tools at the lowest possible cost without vendor lock-in. And of course, full support is always included in the subscription price.
Thanks to all of our great customers and "in the trenches," unseen evangelists who have made this possible by spreading the word about MyEclipse's usefulness. We look forward to many great years ahead!
