080902 -
080903 - Submitted, ref DIT 1 1829, transmitting anlaysis of IBM's plans to
080904 - market "business intelligence" ref SDS 18 0000.
080905 -
080906 - This responds to Dave's letter, ref DRP 3 2783, dated 971121, received

080908 -
080909 -     [Later today, 980307, reviewed Andy Grove's book "Only the

080911 -     ref SDS 19 3668, ref SDS 19 3416]
080912 - ..
080913 - David says he spends most of his time in meetings. ref DRP 3
080914 - 2783, which is a common condition these days, so I cited advantage of
080915 - "business intelligence" for busy executives and managers. ref DIT 1
080916 - 3957
080917 -
080918 - I suggest Dave coordinate with his boss on trying Communication
080919 - Metrics, since Dave mentioned his boss was reluctant to approve this
080920 - last year. ref SDS 17 1942
080921 -
080922 - Dave asks me to keep in touch. ref DRP 3 3302, so I cite this at ref

080925 - Dave indicates he and his boss want to "show value" to establish
080926 - confidence among his team and client members, before considering more
080927 - significant management changes. ref DRP 3 4246
080928 -
080929 -
080930 -  ..
080931 - Anytime, Anywhere Intelligence - Faster, Better Cheaper
080932 -
080933 - I cite "...intelligence" in the subject, the body and in a PS, to
080934 - suggest Communication Metrics delivers faster, better, cheaper
080935 - "intelligence," and this is an attractive idea to sell high end PCs,
080936 - which is Intel's goal. ref DIT 1 1582
080937 -
080938 - This correlates with Dave's view about the goal of effective
080939 - technology for management. ref SDS 2 3502
080940 -
080941 - It offers a solution to the marketing challenge Dave cited in our
