951.0. "Help needed for a Strategic Account" by WELSWS::RISDON (A wild one) Mon Oct 09 1989 11:44

    The British Gas account team is in the middle of a bid which will set 
    their Technical Architecture for the next five years.  We are putting 
    together a day of presentations [in the UK] to back this up.  We are 
    aiming this day at the five-year strategy level, rather than a day of 
    product updates.  We have been let down by one of our presenters and 
    desperately need the following:
    
    A presentation to last for 1 hour to cover the following topics:
    
    DEC Vision
    
    Open Systems
    	o	Hardware and Software building blocks
    	o	Standards
    	o	OSI - DECnet Phase V
    	o	OSF
    	o	POSIX
    	o	Integration
    
    Distributed Computing
    	o	Cost of human resources
    	o	Client/server model
    	o	Compute power to be in the users' hands
    
    NAS
    	o	AIA
    	o	CDA
    	o	Office and integration with MS-DOS and OS2
    
    
    If anyone can help, or can point us in the right direction, please

951.1Doesn't sales have people to help with things like this?CVG::THOMPSONMy friends call me AlfredMon Oct 09 1989 12:0219
	I would expect that presentations like this are made all the time.
	Aren't there pre-made up slides and the like? I doubt that this
	is the place to ask for them though. What I would do is ask you
	normal support channels for help. They may already know of overheads
	and the like you can use.

	Failing that you can try the Marketing conference at NODEMO::MARKETING.
	Or you can take a look through ANCHOR::NET$LIBRARY:EASYNOTES.LIS for
	product related conferences in the areas you need to cover. Here is
	a start:

Open Software Foundation	SSGBPM::OSF				 1845
OSF Information			SMURF::OSF-INFO				 2294
POSIX				LIBRT1::POSIX				 2213
DECnet/OSI Phase V		ENUF::PHASEV				 1544

	I'm sure there are a lot more.

951.3This topic is write-lockedDR::BLINNI'm the CNAMon Oct 09 1989 16:2314
        In the humble opinion of this marketing consultant, there is
        no way you could do justice to all of those topics in one hour,
        and there is no way anyone who doesn't understand those topics
        in depth could pick up someone else's canned presentation and
        do justice to the material.
        
        Being that as it may, this topic is really not appropriate
        to this conference.  As reply .1 points out, there are a number
        of conferences that would be more appropriate.  Anyone wishing
        to help the topic's authors should please use MAIL to send
        your offers of advice or help.
