Needed in Europe next Wednesday?
March 22 2006
Next week, I'm in Zürich on Thursday for
a customer briefing. It's a quick trip, and my plan all along has
been to leave Chicago on Tuesday night and return on Friday. Originally,
though, I had another customer meeting scheduled on Wednesday....which
has just fallen through.
So I am now left with a couple of options:
1) Fly to Zürich Wednesday night, do the Thursday meeting, and return home
Friday, or
2) Fly somewhere else in Europe on Tuesday night, do a Wednesday meeting,
fly to Zürich on Thursday morning, and return home Friday.
Now, the customer meeting on Thursday is really important, otherwise I'd
have asked a regional counterpart to cover it. So given that I am
definitely going to Europe, the question is, how can I maximize the time
investment? I've asked my regional leaders if they have a customer
situation that would be useful for me to get involved in on short notice....nothing
has turned up so far.
So now I'm asking you -- on a lark, admittedly -- is there a European
blog reader with a good story on why I could stop by and visit their organisation
on Wednesday, 29 March?
Parameters -- I'm not just looking for something to fill time with...I've
got a couple of purely social opportunities like that already. A
good, productive meeting about a current or potential use of Notes/Domino,
directions, a competitive situation...something like that would be worthwhile.
Also, it needs to be somewhere easy for me to get to on Wednesday
morning... Chicago has a ton of non-stop flights to Europe, plus most major
cities are a connection away. However, if I get in someplace at 2
PM, that doesn't make for a particularly productive day. Oh, there
also has to be an onward flight to Zürich on Thursday morning.
Comments and/or e-mails to ed_brill at us.ibm.com ... no commitments or
promises, as my IBM colleagues are also still working this...but maybe
we'll come up with something fun and fascinating all at once.

I'm booked that day but when you get to Europe next time I'd be happy to demonstrate a true XHTML 1.0/1.1 Strict Domino R6/R7 Content Management system to you... and buy you a danish Carlsberg or Tuborg (but not in the office hours of course) ;o)

Ed, would be happy to set up a meeting for you here in Copenhagen with i-Seven and some of our major clients from the Danish Notes/Domino community. As you probably already know, the pressure from MS here in DK and the rest of Scandinavia is very high. Thus, it would be a great opportunity for us to secure our installed base and also for you to get insight on the MS pressure and approach here in DK.
Also, the future strategy of Notes/Domino together with the SOA 'story' have generated some genuine interest from our Client base.
Pls. contact me by e-mail or phone to get more information and maybe arrange the details around such a meeting.
Thanx.

@5 Henrik -- I'll send you a note. I have seen some IBM e-mail prompted by others in your company in the last few days... and some specific plans on how to approach. Since I was just in Denmark two weeks ago, and had a bunch of good customer meetings in addition to the LCTY events, I would like to work with other resources (one of our strongest competitive guys is based in Lyngby) to address the immediate needs. Watch for an e-mail later today.
@All - I think I have a couple of good options...thanks to all who wrote or posted... final update coming a bit later.

@7 wish I could...another time.
Some blog readers in Switzerland reminded me that I don't have to stay in Zürich, but rather that I can visit some more customers within the country. So, looks like it will be 36 hours in Confoederatio Helvetica.
