Hey Radoslaw, I read the original request much the same way you did, that Fred is looking to get info from EMC (corporate), Hitachi (corporate), and IBM (business partners instead of corporate). In fact, Fred is looking for business partners for each of the vendors. I sent him the name of an IBM BP that I've worked with in the past and he is also looking for BPs for the other two as well.

Does anyone > know where I might find a list of business partners? I think, you don't need the list, otherwise you would be interested in polish partners - are you? ;-) I would suggest to simply ask IBM about 2-3 business partners from your region with proper authorisation. BTW: in such RFP you ask business partner, but in fact you play with IBM, the prices are set there. Business partner's "value added" is marginal IMHO. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- Treść tej wiadomości może zawierać informacje prawnie chronione Banku przeznaczone wyłącznie do użytku służbowego adresata.
