0708 - Summary/Objective
0709 -
070901 - Follow up ref SDS 63 0000. ref SDS 61 0000.
070902 -
070903 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Dave responding to the proposal in a
070904 - letter, ref DIP 3 0001 to IBM on 030417, ref SDS 63 0001, and
070905 - implementing ideas on 030406 for a proposal to IBM. ref SDS 59 0001
070906 - This follows up Dave's request on 020920 for an explanation of SDS.
070907 - ref SDS 32 UN6H
070909 -  ..
070910 - Dave says today....
070911 -
070912 -     I don;t make purchasing decisions for IBM's internal use I'm
070913 -     afraid and although I have read this through (its a much easier
070914 -     form) I'm afraid you have not convinced me of the claims.
070916 -  ..
070917 - Question arises about....
070918 -
070919 -       1.  What claims were not convincing?
070920 -
070921 -       2.  What would convince Dave?
070922 -
070923 -           The record today shows that transformation to KM is not
070924 -           convincing when conveyed using IT methods.  Aligns with the
070925 -           report on 030304 that NASA officials had difficulty being
070926 -           convinced by email that the Columbia Space Shuttle was in
070927 -           trouble. ref SDS 44 KV6K
070929 -            ..
070930 -       3.  Is Dave the right guy to convince?
070931 -
070932 -           Dave's reference to making purchasing decisions for IBM's
070933 -           internal use, seem misplaced.
070934 -
070936 -  ..
070937 - On 030418 letter to Ross with ideas for mentioning exposure in Welch
070938 - web site. ref SDS 64 0001
070940 -  ..
070941 - On 030419 discuss with Gary supporting initiative to Dave
070942 - Snowden. ref SDS 65 TN4Q
070944 -  ..
070945 - On 030421 discuss with Pat Lincoln supporting proposal to IBM.
070946 - ref SDS 66 ZY4F
070948 -  ..
070949 - On 030422 Ross planning to follow up on 030424. ref SDS 67 0001
070951 -  ..
070952 - On 030423 Pat Lincoln indicated willingness to support proposal to
070953 - IBM. ref SDS 68 RY6M
070954 -
070956 -  ..
070957 - Sent a letter to Ross with a copy to Dave saying....
070958 -
070959 -      Sounds like Dave is not the right guy; so, maybe no point in
070960 -      pressing a dead end.
070961 -
070962 -      What do you think?

171606 - Received letter from Ross saying....
171607 -
171608 -      I agree with your assessment on Snowden.  After checking on his
171609 -      position within the IBM organization, it does not appear as
171610 -      though he is the right contact for your objective of getting IBM
171611 -      to sell SDS as a solution to it's customers. It looks like he is
171612 -      a part of the Human Relations/Personnel Department in Ireland so
171613 -      I'm confused as to how you got hooked up with him in the first
171614 -      place...no need to send me the link that explains that...;-)
171616 -       ..
171617 -      Let me spend some time today identifying the channel within IBM
171618 -      that is seeking outbound sales relationships with enterprise
171619 -      level independant software application developers so you can aim
171620 -      for a target that can help you get SDS out in the marketplace.

172404 -      helps refine the presentation of claims on SDS and Com Metrics.
172405 -      Glad the format was easier to use.
