Is this customer's calling address in the Northeast? If so
I can have one of our Workstation Sales folks call you and get
details.

...and the Competitive Hotline is eager and ready to help "explain"
the deficiencies and shortcomings across many areas of Sun, H-P, IBM
and others as well as price/performance comparisons.
We provide immediate answers, competite advice and suggestions to
anyone looking to win the purchase order.
If Burlington Coat Factory chooses to stay with SUN, the port from
SunOS (Berkely Kernal Based) to Solaris (At&T's SVR3 kernal) is no
trivial task. As a matter of fact, Sun's own documentation (which
we can provide copies of) clearly states that they expect 40%-60%
of the applications running on SunOS "Will *NOT* run on Solaris"!!!!!
Porting applications from SunOS to OSF/1 is much easier.
Digital is also running a "Sun trade-in program" where every Sun
workstation can be traded in for up to $7,000 in credit, depending on
what Alpha box they select. However, as it presently stands, this
program is scheduled to end on April 2.

| 2971.5 | thanks | SPECXN::LEITZ | butch leitz | Thu Mar 31 1994 18:12 | 19 |
| Thanks Kevin, good tip on the hotline.
Also thanks all, we got the right people finally working on this thanks to
your forwarding this note around & from the several calls I received & made
with redirects.
If you're Joe or Jane Deccie with any similar leads & don't know where to
start, it looks like the most straight-forward thing is to contact your
nearest sales unit manager & get redirected until you connect with "the
right folks". I wish it were somewhat simpler, but it wasn't too painful.
I got two good names, one from a field sales support guy who saw this note
& knew who "should" be the right Digital interface (& turns out it was) & a
second name from mail passed on from somebody in Santa Clara to the head of
the retail business industry group who passed it to the (finally) other
"right person". Both these people know each other & will together work on
getting Digital back in to Burlington Coat Factory... one step at a time.
Hope they're successful.

Way to go. And of course it goes without saying that this notesfile was
instrumental in hooking you up with the right people quickly.
Let's hope it's Sunset over Burlington soon.

| 2971.8 | good for you! | TOLKIN::DUMART | | Fri Apr 01 1994 13:18 | 17 |
| After reading through all the notes detailing our problems it was
so refreshing to see someone take action. I, for one, am glad that
the topic wasn't dropped and that people responded. We need to do
more of this kind of positive action.
I also think that Bob Palmer should be hearing about our concerns,
especially around TIMELY delivery of our products to customers.
Would someone please post his E-mail address. Hopefully all of us
that are concerned about DIGITAL and want the company to survive
can write to Bob and make a positive impact in doing so. And if
his managers have not already informed him of the problems then shame
on them. (and if he's not listening then shame on him). Get someone
who can get things moving in the right direction. It doesn't take
a rocket scientist to fiqure out that if we don't get our products
to our customers ON TIME (THEIR TIME) we won't be in business for long.

| 2971.9 | Where ARE you? | BKEEPR::BREITNER | Field Network Mechanic | Fri Apr 01 1994 19:26 | 9 |
| For the Field types who monitor the conference, it would be a big help if a
requestor such as .0 would state where they are (and I don't mean site code -
but rather city, state/province, country).
If you yell "FIRE" on an open phone line we gotta know where you are ...
Glad this opportunity got attention.

| Re .-1
"where are you", I thought that is what vtx elf is for 8^)
The more important thing in this case was where the customer was.
I was reading about the opportunity at 6:30 AM before going into
the US wide workstation sales meeting.
I didn't want to tease folks by saying there was a 200 seat SUN
displacement and then not be able to say who's territory it was in.
Believe me, our part of the sales force is energized, and we will
respond.
Regards,
Dan

ELF is of little help unless you've got all the worlwide site codes
memorized. Finding out that someone is located at site ZXK doesn't help
me much. Next I have to find a copy of the Digital phone book so I can
look up the site code cross reference. :-(
