Conference 7.286::digital

5155.0. "Book of ALL products/prices from Digital for external use?" by TALLIS::NELSON (It's not the years it's the mileage!) Fri Feb 21 1997 16:03

	I have a friend who works in the government; her job is approve or
disapprove ECP (Engineering Change Proposals).  To do this, she must have
access to ALL the latest products and prices from all her contractors.  It
just so happens that Digital is one of those contractors, and they buy
literally MILLIONS of dollars worth of our products.


	Right now, she's using a price book from 1995.  With the way things
are changing, this is sadly out of date.  Does anyone know how an external
person can get ahold of such a book?  I've done title searches in this
notesfile and searches on our external website till I'm blue in the face.
(Hey, I'm an engineer, I'm lucky if I know what the price of MY product is!)


	Any information gratefully accepted.

I'd looked at BusinessLink, but wasn't sure that would do the job.  Over the
weekend in fact I asked her if online would be good enough, but I guess they
have a problem with very slow networks and it can take way too long to access
sites on the web.  Although green at heart, in this case she much prefers
hardcopy.


Anyway, I appreciate Steve coming to the rescue to help us all out.  Given
how much they spend on our products, I think this is a very cheap way to
continue to generate business.
