| Hey, hold back the replies, you're overwhelming me!
Where is everybody?
Should I be looking elsewhere for answers to my question?
|
| 568.2 | Try RSVP | CIMNET::BOURDEAU | Rich Bourdeau CIM Product Marketing | Thu Feb 15 1990 22:26 | 3 |
| Try Ken NOVA::Morse, He is in charge of the RSVP recruitment campaign to get
third parties to port their applications to Rdb. He would be my first
contect.

| 568.3 | FABS is trying | FENNEL::SILVERBERG | Mark Silverberg DTN 264-2269 TTB1-5/B3 | Fri Feb 16 1990 15:00 | 19 |
| We have been working with a number of 3rd parties in FABS, but so far,
we don't have anyone who has good product to deliver in the corporate
financials, accounting, and human resource area. Ross Systems, for
Accounting, is committed to Rdb and should be delivering product in a
year or so. The big CMPs, M&D, AMS, CA, IA, etc. are all considering
a development effort, but won't be delivering product anytime soon.
Pioneer, with the GEMBASE/Rdb based accounting and manufacturing
products for process industries, are just in the process of bringing
their products developed in/for the SPR geographies to the US; they
are just starting their effort to build a sales and support staff, and
might be ready to move accounting product within a year.
Many of our vendors are multi-platform, and they are looking at ways
to insure common application code for multiple systems vendors. The
Rdb story is good for VAX, but currently doesn't go beyond that. We
will keep trying, however.

systems (accounting, corporate reporting, payroll, planning, asset
management, and distribution) based on Rdb and integrated with

| 568.5 | A MAJOR SUCCESS!! Thanks everyone! | TRCA01::SANDHU | | Wed Apr 18 1990 23:00 | 16 |

Thanks one and all - WE WON!!!
The account is a large govt. ministry, and although the ministry
had initially chosen ORACLE as their database standard, we went
in, had a great strategy thanks to the account manager, and overturned
the ORACLE decision.
Not only that, the customer is standardizing on RALLY, VAXset and
CDD/PLUS.
If anyone needs more information, don't hesistate to call me or
the Canadian Database Marketing Manager, Doreen Coyne. Or better
yet, the account manager, Beverley Cooke. The key to winning this, in
the final analysis was the account manager, and her desire to win.
