4758.0. "Denver, CO Sales Potential - Help Needed ..." by YASHAR::RONNIEB (Debt Free! Thank You, Jesus!) Thu Aug 01 1996 17:22

    I am seeking the name of an account representative for the Denver,
    Colorado area.  I had a most pleasant business encounter with the IS
    folks from a growing company located in the Denver area that are 
    seriously looking to replace their Sun-based servers, and are most 
    favourably disposed toward DEC's AlphaServer technology.

    These fine folks would like to talk with someone who could/would:

	o  listen to their stated current business needs;
	o  consider their Staff and Budget Growth rate:
		- at the end of 1993 =  22 full-time staff, $4 million
		- at the end of 1994 = 150 staff, $26 million
		- at the end of 1995 = 300 staff, $64 million
		- so far in 1996     = over 400 staff, est. $115 million
	o  help them evaluate their current technology to determine
	   what appropriate equipment could be ordered from DEC to
	   satisfy their current IS needs and meet the projected needs
	   that accompany their growth;
	o  help them place an order for the identified replacement
	   equipment;
	o  help them successfully migrate their data processing from their
	   current platform to their new platform;
	o  continue to work with them to help ensure their success, and
	   thus share in that success with ongoing sales activity;

    Is there anyone within Digital Equipment Corporation who would be
    appropriate to place in contact with this company?

    Thanks for your help,

    Consider it done!  
    
    Thanks for the heads-up!

   Closure:  It turns out that I was mis-informed as this organization was
   _given_ (!) 4 Sun SPARC2000 multiprocessor systems that they are now 
   migrating _to_.

   Thanks to Sharon Langfeldt (.1) for her quick response !

    
    Sigh....
