What is the opportunity for partners?
With the power and scale of the Windows Azure platform, via a differentiated killer marketplace for data that will be unveiled at the project’s launch, Dallas provides content providers with the ability to reach new markets, data provisioning, a flexible billing model, increased storage, and compute power with their data running on Dallas. In addition, partners get not only developer productivity through automatically generated APIs and client side libraries, but also the ability to expose this content easily within Microsoft Office and SQL Server assets. Best of all – content providers get reports on data usage, sales, as well as the ability to set pricing, terms, and constraints for per-transaction and subscription offers.
