Hello, Sun Microsystems wants Sage to be much more well known, so they are throwing some of the considerable marketing resources at this problem.
Ellen Fellenz from Sun asks several specific *marketing* questions about Sage below. If anybody here has any thoughts about how they would answer these questions, please go for it and respond to this email answering them. I'll put together your answers with some thoughts of my own, and send them on to Ellen. Thanks! William ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ellen Fellenz <...> Date: 2009/7/17 Subject: Re: CoMarketing: Sage & Sun To: harald schilly <harald.schi...@gmail.com>, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> Hi Herald and William, I completely understand the challenges in doing conference calls internationally. It is really not necessary to be on a conference call together to get this done. If you prefer, we can take a look at the materials you mentioned below and put together a first draft of a Sun/Sage solution brief for you to review. I have reviewed the information you have referenced below as well as your corporate website. A few questions that would be helpful for us getting started on this project: - Can you provide a few key points as to why Sage products are valuable to Educational Institutions implementing Open Source technology? - In high level terms, how do Sage's software products benefit from running on Sun's Open Source infrastructure? - Are there specific Sage products that should be highlighted in an Open Source for Education campaign? If so, which ones and why? - Do you have any customers in Education currently using Sun/Sage open source technology that could be referenced in these materials? If it is easier, please just send some notes or bullet points for the questions above and we can draft the materials and send back for your review. Does that work for you?
