<<IBM deal has been opening up doors and generating leads ever since the press release.>> That's what counts IMHO.

jake: In my opinion, resorting to name calling is not a very effective communications style. But, if that's how you feel you need to make your point, fine. If you'll note, I posted the results of my research. I did that to satisfy the folks who PM'd me asking for my results, and for the lurkers who can't PM. I also included a header line which instructed those who had no interest in the issue to skip the post. Since you commented on the post, you must have read it, therefore indicating an interest in the subject matter. Also, please note that I included no derogatory comments in my post. Now, to discuss your post ... Re: "The deal is too new to be integrated into the IBM machine." Actually, I agree with that statement. In fact, I posted something to that effect here .... #reply-7394342 "I seriously doubt the information on how to handle this new relationship has filtered down to the local IBM field offices yet. Give it a month or so." But, the patron saint of this thread scoffed at the idea, and stated as a fact that "Every IBM rep has been briefed already" (see #reply-7394410). Are you saying his statement is false? Attacking his credibility? If "Every IBM rep has been briefed", don't you think that would include the public sales reps for the MQSeries sales force who are accessible via telephone to answer questions? Apparently you don't. Sorry. I just don't see your logic. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. TED
