Along the same line, SUNW took a full page Advt. in the NYTimes today touting a lot of companies doing java-based development. I believe this advt has appeared in other papers as well. ODIS IS NOT LISTED! Where is ODIS' PR?

Damien et all...

>>Yet another magazine article that mentions just about every ODBMS vendor on the planet except for Object Design:<<

I have taken some time and begun to see how much PR ODIS is doing. By "trolling" around on the net, I did find a lot of PR that DOES mention ODIS.

If you are interested, the list is below. This in my opinion does an excellent job of getting the story out to the technical world including resellers. It also tells me that ODIS is stepping up the activity in getting their message out.

I can only assume that with this level of activity, a similar job is being done on Investment Analysts and the opinion setting major research/consulting firms. You don't reach them with Press Releases that needs to be done one on one or at various analysts meetings and is impossible to follow via the Internet.

With this I am feeling much better about their PR and IMO, PR only will be effective if there is a good story to tell. There has always been a positive reaction on this thread about the value of their product thus I believe it will be effective.

IMO, this PR will payoff if coupled with similar activity with the investment analysts and research firms.

The PR list of recent articles.
