Conference 7.286::digital

From VTX GUIDE:

  International Systems Engineering (ISE) is formed by the integration of the
  former groups, International Engineering Development, (IED), and Asian Base
  Systems Software, ABSS. (See 1989-1990 Edition, Pages 137 and 77). 

  ISE is a distributed worldwide organization with people in Reading,
  Valbonne, Tel Aviv, Geneva, Frankfurt, Nashua, Littleton, Hong Kong,
  Taipei, Seoul, Bangkok, and Yokahama. 

  Jim Mills, the group's manager, is based in Spitbrook Road reporting to
  David Stone, Vice President of the Software Product Business Unit. 

  To raise any internationalization matter, you can contact the group via a
  "hot-line" on DELNI::IED_US, or via telephone on DTN 226-5740. 

    re: -1
    
    nope,  got word that 226-5740 is no longer in service.  The phone just
    keeps ringing and that is one of the numbers listed in the book.
    
    With help from mail I've recieved, this group appears to be in two 
    buildings, ZKO and AKO. This group was also in Littleton (LKG) but
    appears that they no longer are here. I would post the number which was 
    given to me,but until it is confirmed, I do not want to give out numbers.
    
    If it is correct, I will call the appropriate people to make sure the
    number is changed for the next telephone directory and so on.....
    
    thanx to those that have sent me mail.

    oh and delni::ied_us.  That account is forwarded to CUERVO::IED_US
    which seems to be located in MKO!

I changed the topic title to be more descriptive.

re: .1

>From VTX GUIDE:

Is someone actually trying to keep that up-to-date?  Last time i checked, it
seemed to be another of the many VTX infobases that are stale by >6 months.

    RE: .5, VTX GUIDE
    
    That information can only be kept current if people keep providing us
    with the most updated information.
    
    Right now, we're reorganizing the application based on Digital's new
    structure -- PCUs, ABUs, etc.  And, we're trying to get a commitment from
    people to keep their group's information current.  
    
    With groups in Digital changing so often, it's quite a feat to keep up!

    I'll be sorry I read this note, because I know where the calls will go
    to now.  People have been calling Jim Mills and he sends them my way.
    
    re .0: IED does not exist anymore, as noted in .1.  All such calls
    should be redirected to ISE.
    
    re .2: DELNI::IED_US and CUERVO::IED_US have been superseded.  The
    current mail address is I18N::HOTLINE (in ZKO, but forwarded to the
    group secretary in AKO).  There is no hotline telephone number.  I'd be
    tempted to just take the number out of the phone directory, but I know
    the right thing to do is to change the directory listing, the existence
    of which I wasn't aware of until now.
    
    re .1: I don't know who provided that information about a year and a
    half ago.  But things have changed.  At this juncture it's probably not
    relevant to mention IED and ABSS anymore.  The list of ISE sites is
    now: Acton, Bangkok, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hong Kong, Nashua, Reading,
    Seattle (Bellevue), Stockholm, Taipei, Tel Aviv (Herzelia), Valbonne
    (Sophia Antipolis), and Yokohama.
    
    As Jim Wade mentioned in .6, ISE is currently managed by Claude
    Pesquet, who is located in Acton.  But you might as well contact me
    directly.
