The NonStop partners aren't looking at HPE the same way as partners of other products in the HPE product portfolio may be looking to HPE - in fact, there are many instances where it's good to see HPE step aside as selling software isn't always their forte. Customer input will always remain important but for the NonStop community, NonStop vendors continue to play a very important role.

Too much bureaucracy and no way to be agile of which HPE being no different. The only ones that can are SMEs. For HPE NonStop it is their partner's licensed software. <br /><br />But there are a problem with HPE partners, they do not have the ability to take HPE to the cleaners for example over software quality. They are too scared for partner competition reasons and therefore the need to suck up to HPE and not question them. HPE knows this and abuses this. The only ones with real power is the HPE customers. They are the only ones that drives things, but with so little customers on NonStop its a very marginal process.<br /><br />This in my opinion which make the whole HPE partnership a big farce. Ask any partner in confidence and they will tell you which mostly need to pay HPE money for nothing in return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
