Bad hair day? Who cares...
Talk about an eye-opening customer meeting...This morning, friends from T-SystemsSchweiz retreived me fromZürich airport for a couple of customer meetings. Normally, I don'tmention customers I meet with by name, but this one seems quite up forthe fame. It was with a company called Triumph -- manufacturers ofhigh-quality undergarments. It was a really good meeting, discussing plans and opportunities for upgradingto Notes/Domino 7. But I say it was a real eye-opener because oftheir business. From the reception area to the meeting room, we walkedpast dozens of posters advertising Triumph'sextensive product line (linkmay not be considered "safe for work" in certain environments).I think it's reasonable to admit on-the-record that I took some of thecustomer's product collateral with me after our visit, including a "BadHair Day" post card (again,possibly not safe for work). Please note -- she was not inthe meeting. :-)
