DSP General Information

Customer Appreciation - Thank you to our Customer Advisory Board members
Patrick Kerpan, VP/GM DSP Business Unit

The DSP recently hosted an online meeting with our Customer Advisory Board (CAB) to discuss the current product direction and get some end user input into our future roadmap.

Our CAB is currently comprised of twelve key clients from various industries with different sizes, goals, and software needs. We meet twice a year with ongoing communication between meetings, to ensure that our team is pursuing a future vision that will meet the forecasted needs of our customers.

In just one afternoon, we were able to gather many perspectives and data points that greatly influence our development goals. We appreciate the dedication of our members and recognize that it is difficult to schedule the time necessary for these meetings. Thank you to everyone who contributes to our product improvement and I look forward to seeing you at BorCon 2003.

Developer Network


The StarTeam and CaliberRM Communities are NOW AVAILABLE. Click here to tap into valuable technical white papers, SDK code samples, FAQs, and other product pointers available on the Borland Developer Network.

The Borland Developer Network (BDN) is an online community for all software users that allows members to gather, share stories, download software, purchase products, keep up with news, and improve their skills. The BDN was created with the expectation of one day being viewed as a premier source of inspiration and information for anyone involved in the software development lifecycle.

We encourage you to not only take a look at what is available, but to actively contribute to the community by posting on our newsgroups, submitting SDK code samples, downloading software or submitting items for a wish list.
