DPS Agency Pricing Model - When?

I am a member of the ADPS beta program and attended the MEI presentation in SF. We are a mid-sized marketing and design firm with 5 offices nationwide. Our clients (professional services corporations primarily) are clamoring for tablet apps to publish their (formerly) print collateral, but will not green light the budgets to fork over $11,000 to start for ADPS. I want to emphasize that these are high-level professional services corporations, many of which are multinational -- not mom and pop companies.
When is Adobe going to come out with their Agency model pricing to allow large and mid-sized design and marketing firms to act as licensed resellers or pass-through publishing agents? If I have 15 clients willing to pay, say 2.5 - 5 grand each, then that should amount to something.
In my opinion, Adobe is sitting on a treasure trove of tools and they are losing the war due to blind greed.

What are the key benefits and limitations of new pricing model of X5-2?

What are the key benefits and limitations of new pricing model that started with X5 version?

1. Elastic Configurations
Size/price hardware by the number of servers; Fixed configs no longer required
Start with 2 Database Servers and 3 Storage Servers. Incrementally add database or storage servers online.
2. Capacity-on-Demand (CoD)
Upon installation, activate 40-100% of the cores per server and reduce software licenses; Applies to Eighth Rack now too
Activate and license more cores when needed; Active cores may not be deactivated
3. OVM and Trusted Partitions
License software on Virtual CPUs within a VM; Ideal for special-purpose DB options
You can mix different combination of options for different DB on one Exadata.
OVM has no License cost; support is included with premier hardware support
Limitation:
At least 40% of usable cores on the machine must be licensed for Oracle software
Cannot use both OVM and CoD to license less than 40% of cores
A server must be virtualized or non-virtualized – not mixed
A RAC cluster can mix virtualized and non-virtualized servers
4. “Flash Drive” License Metric for EF Storage Server Software
$20K/drive; 8 flash drives/EF server vs 12 disk drives/HC server = 33% higher list
Can transfer licenses between Flash Drive (2 licenses/drive) and Disk Drive (1 license/drive) – part # is the same

New "throttled" ICE pricing model proposal to Adobe

First off I agree that the ICE service should not be free, but for it to be worth while from a business standpoint, and at $20 per month paid to Adobe, the "web shop" would need to charge at least $10 per month to each client to use the service. It's a given that most clients won't want to pay more than $10 a month for the ICE service unless their web site is a large one. So if Adobe needs $20 a month for 5 domains in the current price proposal, the web shop would need to have 2 clients using it right away just to break even and acquire 3 clients just to start making a profit. The proposed pricing model puts much more "pressure" on the web shop's side to sign people up on the service as fast as possible starting out. The situation becomes even more evident if the web shop has 6 clients and is now paying $40 a month to Adobe for two base accounts. With 5 clients and one base account the web shop profits $50-($20 to Adobe)=$30 total per month. With 6 clients and two base accounts the web shop profit takes a dip with $60-($40 to Adobe)=$20 total profit per month. So the current pricing model becomes a kind of stair-stepping profit and loss situation for the web shop when they don't have each base account "loaded up" per say.
A MUCH better pricing strategy for both Adobe and web shop owners would be for Adobe to create an initial 3 domain base account for $10 a month and then "throttle the price" for each additional domain. This would lower the initial profit risk for the web shop greatly. Let me illustrate... Let's say Adobe charges a base price of $10 a month for a 3 domain base account to start with. Then for every NEW domain there is an additional $5 a month charge. Ok, so let's say the web shop has 5 client domains... now we have a a base price of $10 (3 domains in the base) + 2 NEW domains and that's a total of a $20 total per month paid to Adobe. Now for 5 domains Adobe is STILL making the $20 a month it needs. At this point though, the web shop has 5 committed ICE clients and is charging a minimum of $10 per domain so they receive $50 per month minus the $20 paid back to Adobe for a total profit of $30 per month. If the web shop has 6 client domains then the total profit is $25 to Adobe rather than having to pay $40 per month with the current proposed pricing model. Now we must look at how this pricing strategy "benefits" Adobe, because at 6 domains Adobe was previously getting $40 for two base accounts with 5 domains in each. BUT if they go with a throttled pricing model those same 10 domains now would mean $45 per month ($10 base + 7 new domains at $5 each for $35) instead of the previous $40 per month for Adobe. Ok, wait a second (I can hear most of you saying it now) why would we now pay Adobe an extra $5 per month for 10 domains? The answer is simple, because previously they would be getting $40 a month for say 6 domains whereas now they would only get (($10 + 3 new domains x $5 each = $15)) = a total of $25 per month for 6 domains. This is very fair because Adobe now takes on a lower rate per month as the domain counts ramp up, but now at the 10 domain mark they would be getting $45 per month instead of $40.
Overall this strategy eliminates the starting risk for the web shop, ensures the web shop's profit right away, and in the long run Adobe profits a little bit more for higher domains counts. Both sides get a much better deal with a throttled pricing model!
And as a last note of "profitable hope" for the web shop readers, you could also base your ICE monthly service price on the size of each client's web site. For example: 20 pages or less = $10 per month, 21- 50 pages = $15 per month and for large web sites above 50 pages you could go with $20 per month. This is actually still fair, because if you think about it you still have to provide ICE code support for each page should something go wrong and provide support for ICE user e-mail questions, training, etc. So the more page support you have to deal with code-wise, e-mail-wise, or even phone-wise the more it should justify a higher monthly cost back to your client for having a larger web site to maintain overall.

Pricing Model

Back in mid-February some blog posts said that a pricing
model would be out in a few weeks. Has a candidate pricing model
been posted? If so, where can I find it? If not, when will it be
made available?

Thank you for your patience! Please refer to this blog post
for details. We would very much appreciate your feedback on our
proposed pricing models.

Create a business model when we have only one source table

Hi,
How to create a business model when we have only one source table in Physical layer
Regards
Swathi

This is very much possible and feasible. Its called as Single Table model. Good example is SA System Subject Area where we just have a single physical source. No need to create Alias in Physical. Simply use the same table twice in BMM with one Logical Table as Dummy Fact..Like say Count of Users (aggregated). Then apply normal Complex join in BMM and present in presentation layer.

It's also possible that the heat damage, if that's what it really is, was caused by overheating while you were using it.
Get iStat Pro widget to monitor the temps and possibly prevent overheating of the new drive. You want to keep the drive temp as close as possible to 45C. 45-50 probably still OK, but constantly or very often above that will shorten the drive life.
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/12/hard-drive-temperatures-be-afraid.html
If there was noticeable heat damage to the drive, and it might not have been that, the temps would have had to have been extraordinarily high. Don't know about your model, but the thermal shutdown temp for some older Macs was 85C.

Black Scholes Option Pricing Model

Hello Folks
Here is a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model that includes CALLs, PUTs, and the Greeks plus a vi to create an option chain.
If someone could translate this to native LV code OR possibly a DLL it would benifit interested traders, It was developent on a professional version platform using the MatLabscript node.
The zip file contains the BSM, a web browser app for quick stock lookups, and some symbol files. You will need to tweak the Research VI a little to point it to the symbol file.
I pulled these out of a woking app so other than the minor tweeks everything was working....
Best Regards

Here are the sub vi's to the research VI. These VIs are the old version of calulating the Call and Put before I finalized the mod to the BSM matscript. The reason i included it was so th euser could get the implied volatility formula to add to the BSM updated model.
The intent of releasing this was simply to get it out ot folks in the hopes of saving a bunch of research and testing.....

Tiered Pricing Model

Is there a way to implement a tiered pricing model for Offerings so that employees are charged one rate, contingent workers are charged another, and outside customers are charged a third rate?
Thanks!
Anne

Hi Anne,
If you use OM integration to OLM you could have two different pricelists for customers and internal workers. But there is no way to separate out employees and contingent workers.

How can I become an Adobe DPS Agency Partner

Apple does not accept unsolicited tester requests. Most - if not all -
testing is done inhouse. Best way to become tester is to become
Apple employee.

Next year they will bring back perpetual license for customers prepared to pay over the top prices. Microsoft has done it so Adobe and others will just copy them. Who said there is morality in business?

When is the new DPS Pro pricing structure implimented?

I'm about to purchase DPS Pro but unsure whether I should hold off until ithe prices are updated?

So, let me get this straight. If you purchased a DPS Pro Subscription last month, you could publish all the apps that you pleased for $495/month.
When you renew February 2015, you'll be able to produce only *1* app for $495/month. This from the company that says people who publish numerous apps are only a "small percentage" of those with DPS Pro licenses.
Then, to make things even more interesting, Adobe LOWERS the price of DPS Enterprise by more than 70% in one year! The geniuses at Adobe are really making me scratch my head.

I just bought the new 2014 Mac Mini 2.6 8Gig for $699 at the Apple Store Online. I want to use it for light editing in iMovie making video's for YouTube, I couldn't afford the higher priced models. Is this going to work for me? I hope so..

Will this do basic video editing for YouTube Video's in iMovie, I hope so. It's all I could afford.
Just under $800 with tax and Applecare.
It's stock 2.6 8gigs 1 terabyte hard drive.
I have two monitors DVI that I plan to hook to it.
I know it's weak but will it get me going without too much hardship.
I want to grow into the more high priced computers and Final Cut Pro later on.
I know I will need a bigger computer then.
Thanks

There are many people using the basic (i5) 2012 MacMini and even older ones to edit complex films in FCP X so you should have no problems.
I have been using FCP 7 and FCP X since they came out on my 2008 iMac Core 2 Duo and am thinking of getting the same model as you rather than pay the astronomic price for a new 27" iMac.
The performance won't be quite as fast but it will be at least 4 times faster at rendering than my old iMac.

I can't get my Epson Stylus SX438W to work. Has anyone had trouble finding the correct model when installing the driver?

I am having trouble completing the installation of my new Epson Stylus SX438W Wi-Fi printer. The printer is connected to my network and so is my Mac. I have put the Epson software disc in the Mac and followed the procedure to installing everything that is needed. I am stuck at a point that Epson have not been able to help with, and as advised to ask my router provider whether it does MAC filtering. It does not apparently. Then i have been advised to contact Apple. So that's where i am. The problem is that at the point where i have to add the printer to the printer list the correct model does not show in the provided list, so i hit the "more printers" tab. Not in here either. Epson have guided me through the installation of the latest driver and the prinnter still, does not show up in any lists. We have tried setting it up manually (i believe!, i am far, far from really knowing at all what i am doing). When trying to print a document from Microsoft word all that comes out is jargon on the sheets. Obviously not what i am after. I realise my description may be very unhelpful to you but i am REALLY stuck i don't know what to do now. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. i have attached an image of the screen i have got to if that is of any help and i can get more screen shots etc. if anyone needs them!

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

Get the model when clicking a button on a table row

I have a SAPUI5 table binded with the simple model. I'm printing the data using Table control of SAPUI5. I'm binding the name field with the name column of the table control and on the next column I have a button. When you press this button I'd like to perform some operation on the model (read) however I can't figure out a way of getting the instance of the model in the callback function for the button.
Here's the JSBin to reproduce the problem.

Awesome.
