Back in September 2012 we announced a new Partner Marketplace for Visual Studio Industry Partners (VSIP) Premier Members to use. Why not take a look? It has an interesting new visual design...the marketplace helps highlight products that extend the functionality of Visual Studio 2012 and help developers with all aspects of the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) process. The 3 high level areas of the ALM process covered in the Visual Studio Partner Marketplace are: • Define - Capture clear and actionable requirements • Develop - Create working software that meets expectations • Operate - Deliver enterprise ready solutions Recently Microsoft updated their Visual Studio Industry Partner or VSIP Program to highlight the benefits of being a VSIP Partner. This includes having your Visual Studio 2012 compatible products listed, highlighted and marketed - in a highly visual and compelling way in our Visual Studio Partner Marketplace if you are a VSIP Premier Member.
