Microsoft has already released the Visual Studio 11 Beta - with a go live license - so any app that your customers write with the VS 11 Beta will be fully supported by Microsoft in a production environment - which means that customers can already use it to build a deployable app. As we move towards the full release of Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Visual Studio 11 you will probably want to get your products working with the Visual Studio 11 Beta as soon as possible! If you haven't downloaded the Visual Studio 11 Beta here is the link:

We announced our Annual Awards in Japan for 2011-2012 on May 21st, 2012! Our annual sales Awards have been announced...would you like to see if you are a Top Publisher in Japan or own a Top Product?
This year’s ComponentSource Bestselling Product in Japan and Bestselling Publisher in Japan Awards have been announced! There are two separate award lists for our Top 50 Bestselling Products in Japan for 2011 and our Top 10 Bestselling Publishers in Japan for 2011. The awards are based on the Total Sales $ Value of Sales for the Products/Publishers over the last year from Jan 1st, 2011 to Dec 31st, 2011 through ComponentSource in Japan. We give out separate awards to our Top 5, Top 10, Top 25 & Top 50 Bestselling Products in Japan and also to our Top 5 & Top 10 Bestselling Publishers in Japan from last year.
The award winners have been notified by email already and also listed on our Japanese Web site. Each winning publisher has been sent an award logo or logos to use on their Web site Awards pages and adverts, so if you see your name on the list and you have not received your email - with the awards logos attached - please get in touch and we will forward it to you again.
We believe that these awards are a true reflection of industry trends in Japan, as they are based on real customer orders, buying software product licenses throughout the year. The awards therefore go to the products with the highest sales value - reflecting real customer demand as well as real commercial success. To discuss this award program please email: chrisb@componentsource.com in our Atlanta office, or harryk@componentsource.com in our Reading office or scotts@componentsource.co.jp in our Tokyo office. Note: Our Worldwide Awards were announced separately on Apr 30th, 2012.

Did you know that your customers can buy with a purchase order using a credit account with us?
Yes - our mutual customers can apply to open a credit account with us, they send us a purchase order, we supply the product license and send the customer an invoice and await payment. We pay you in our normal payment cycle, even if the customer is paying us late or has agreed extended payment terms. So we take all the credit risk or bad debt risk and we pay you on time. A safe way for you to carry out your international business - plus we accept payment in 20 currencies and can talk to the customers in 10 different languages. |
