David....

>>Anyway, Novell is not in my opinion very customer focused right now based on the desire to find revenue to make up for the declining NOS moneys. We saw this with Zen for Servers before they finally caved and did what was right. I am sure some of this is tangential and has been covered by earlier posts but I have been so disgusted with NOVL I have not kept up with the board like I normally do.>>

Unfortunately, the sales channel seems to have been placed in the middle of a catch-22: an environment which Novell's direct sales and marketing channel seems to have failed to provide the right mix of adjusted incentives during this transition as they wait for NDS, ICS, iChain, eDirectory, DigitalMe and the rest of these spinning tops to somehow coherently fit into this ONE vision supported by DENIM.

So you end up with a scramble as sales reps see their bonuses evaporate with no new incentives to evangelize/serve up data and information for the new direction.

Looked at from this "higher" perspective, process/procedure sales and marketing guys like Don should be licking their chops.

It's all in the attitude and understanding.

This DENIM-supported ONE vision should be HOT, HOT, HOT right now. Instead it's still trying to find a platform.

Peace.

GO!!
