This Thursday, I did a bunch of work on the press release for Sendamail Sentrion Cloud Services. Basically, it's a service that allows some of the computing to be done off-site, which cuts down on costs for the customer. I continued doing the scan of the Fortune 500, and I started writing the report. I'm learning to appreciate the need for high-level data when presenting to high-level executives. It's been good doing an in-depth analysis of the F500, I've learned a lot about the companies (I had no idea Boeing moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago).
I've begun to sit in on the weekly "product meeting", in which issues about Sendmail's products are discussed. Today, it was announced that we lost an important customer in the UK. Not so good. Another UK company wants to continue to use Sendmail's software-only product, even though it is being phased out. They're a big customer though, so we'll accommodate them.
Friday saw continued editing work on the Cloud Services press release, and rewrting of a big old 15-page white paper. I also did a somewhat menial job: moving a bunch of files from the "old system" to the "new system". It was a bit boring, but I got the chance to see a change in progress and learn more about the ways Sendmail communicates with customers and "leads"(prospective customers).
