NW - special sites to sell hardware to employees at a discount? Without any deep thought, my reaction would be that any time CPQ can do a direct site which moves products without any overt conflict with existing distribution, they should do so. There is at least a 7 or 8 point advantage in going direct which can be passed along and there is another argument which says that additional discounts can be justified if much of the business is incremental. I hope they do that for shareholders on a permanent basis!!
