463.0. ""Is DOCUMENT a Product?" and other miscellany" by MDVAX3::ENDSLEY (MJ Endsley, SWS @ St. Louis) Wed Jun 03 1987 14:12

    Pardon my ignorance; I feel pretty silly asking this, but...
    
    Is DOCUMENT going to be a true blue, layered product, available
    to customers?  If so, would someone be kind enough to post (or MAIL)
    the name of the Product Manager?  I've a few questions to ask...

VAX DOCUMENT is indeed going to be a product available to customers.
The acting product manager is Rick (DSSDEV::) Berzle.

    Have any packages actually been sold to/field tested with outside 
    customers?  What has the response been?  What is the target market?
    
    Just curious

    Gee, I hope it's a product -- otherwise we're going to need
    to come up a new explanation for these headaches we've been having.
    
    Maybe it's the water...

    As is probably the case in most products, we've had much more
    response from our internal Digital field test sites than from our
    external sites (obviously because so many of you had files from
    existing versions). The feedback that we do get is generally 
    favorable. Brian and I demo'd DOCUMENT at DECUS in Nashville, and
    it was a very big hit. People who had heard the announcement came
    by, and people who hadn't heard the announcement but wandered past
    the booth stopped to look and stayed (average 20mins) to ask questions
    and examine it.

    What I don't understand is why there was no headline in any of the
    computer rags like
    
    DIGITAL ANNOUNCES DOCUMENT PRODUCTION SYSTEM
    
    Weren't there any reporters around?

    There is a blurb in the most recent (or the previous) edition of
    ComputerWorld magazine. The article is on page 25 and gives an overview
    of the product. Check it out.
