Question [ http://weblogs.asp.net/axinom/archive/2005/07/20/419998.aspx ]
I'd be interested in learning more, but I couldn't find out from your websites how your "region" opportunities are structured.
Answer:
Axinom has not fixed the regions. A region is something our partner operates exclusively and has promised to take care of. In terms of the marketing, finding leads and finishing the projects. However, often the political (borders), culural (language) or business factors (travelling costs) force the region in some existing unit - like country (in smaller and medium cases) or states (in larger cases).
Based on our experience, most of software development companies tend to have more or less fixed area where they are operating or willing to cover (reasons mentioned above). We assume here that there is more than one project running at time and during a project there is need to visit the customer several times (from the presentations to the trainings), which makes the business reasons especially important.
It may seem that there is partnership opportunity for only big companeis. It is not so. We would rather like to start with a small company, which is willing to grow when business grows. If it can not cover in the beginning full area agreed, it is okay. When it grows, it eventually will cover the region it promised to take care of.
Finally, to answer your question - if you say that your company will cover the areas you mentioned, it will be your region.
I would like to add that to use and distribute AxCMS.net and its framework, there is no need to be our exclusive partner (they just get some business benefits ;-) ). Product is free of license costs and standard support (forums at http://en.axcms.net) is available for everybody.
We hope that this answered your question. After registration on www.axinom.com we provide more detail information about the business model and a personal contact for the fruther discussions.
