Mutually beneficial, win-win partnerships should be built to last. And to create all that good, predictable business mojo, you need to incentivize participation on both ends. We’ve done this in the past, but have not created a formal program… until now.
Today we’re officially introducing OpenRain Partner programs to all our clients, vendors and other affiliates to incentivize these lasting bonds. Clients and vendors with formal relationships established in over three month intervals will now receive discounts on our already competitive development rates. When qualified as a marketing partner, businesses complementary to OpenRain’s core market (such as vertical partners in the design, hosting and support spaces) are also eligible to receive four-figure referral bonus as well as free co-branded marketing materials!
Good referrals from trusted sources to reputable businesses are the cornerstone of organic business development, so participation in all of these programs will be limited and provided only to other reputable firms and individuals. Contact us to discuss!

We’ve been using FiveRuns TuneUp as a quick and easy tool for proactively identifying performance issues in production Ruby on Rails applications. (TuneUp is free and brain-dead easy to use for any Rails developer, so definitely check it out.) We’re excited to announce our RAMP program partnership with FiveRuns and look forward to seeing more services such as Manage in the future!

OpenRain is a U.S. company with U.S. staff. The value of direct, barrier-free, native-language communication outweighs any perceived cost savings of outsourcing our niche, not to mention it’s a lot more fun to work in the same office and time zone. For a typical 3-month project with 2 developers, it’s not uncommon in an outsourced environment to need a full-time project manager on both client and developer sides just to manage tasks, meetings, legal, logistical issues etc.; an unnecessary cost which alone has increased the bill 50%. By keeping operations local, we’re able to remain far more agile in a far lighter development environment.
Nevertheless, we periodically talk to a potential client who is dead set on outsourcing work to “save money”. While we’ll respectfully disagree with you, we’ll kindly connect your business to a new sister shop located in the Ukraine who exclusively focuses on outsourcing, something which OpenRain doesn’t do. Both OpenRain and Railsware focus on Ruby development for U.S. companies, and are pleased to announce this partnership so we may jointly work towards building a bigger, better Ruby development industry as a whole. We’d love to have you in it!
