As the new head of sales for VISI, I’m extremely excited to have the opportunity to extend VISI’s long tradition of excellent service. Companies frequently tout their dedication to service in their marketing materials and literature, but fail to deliver on this promise because they don’t know where to begin. At VISI, we can provide our customers world-class service and great value for their money. It’s not just a marketing slogan; we accomplish this by focusing our efforts on five key elements:

(1) Your sales person takes personal responsibility for your results. They are your single point of contact and ensure that you have the best solutions and achieve the value you expect.

(2) Your sales person strives to understand your business. Before we start talking about products, we need to know where you are at.

(3) Your sales person is your customer advocate. They represent you and what you need at VISI to fulfill your needs. Your sales person has your best interests at heart.

(4) Your sales person provides you with solutions that fit your unique environment. We do not offer “cookie cutter” solutions since each business is different.

(5) We strive to be as accessible as possible. We will continue to build infrastructure to support your business in a 24×7 market. Our entire sales team is accessible via smart phone and email. Your have our commitment that our responsiveness will exceed your expectations.

We are building an organization that is obsessed with providing excellent service and value to the companies we server. I would love to hear from you. How are we doing? Is there anything else we can do to provide outstanding value?

Best regards,
Brian Stevenson
Vice President of Sales

Good morning everyone from sunny Las Vegas!

I’ve been attending INTEROP 2008 here at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center - the show is an immense collection of business and technology vendors showing off their latest technologies to willing participants and conference attendees -

Of very interesting note was the use of technology marketplaces by a few notable technology companies including both Microsoft and VMware - rather than showcasing their latest technologies they put select vendor-partners out front to show how their unique technologies interface and work collaboratively.

Curiously only two national hosting services providers (HSP) was evident and showcasing their solutions which included Shared Microsoft Exchange 2007. Comparatively speaking only one of these HSPs does not choose to include Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) v 3.0 gratis with their Exchange offering…most curious.

Yotta Yotta was a last minute vendor addition, not making it into the program yet proud to show off their near zero RTO & RPO disaster recovery hardware appliance - they were glad be there and had the forklift puncture marks in their equipment as a sign of having the will to demo their wares!

Other notable companies present included Foundry Networks, Juniper, F5, DELL, CISCO, essentially all the big players that are enabling today’s technological landscape were at INTEROP 2008 in force!

More later -

Ciao!

Bill
