Re: Informix business grew by double digits in 2006 (Q1+Q2)
IBM is hamstrung by legal requirements to only use customer names with permission. This is where the community can help. If you work for a company who's name would lend credibility to the Informix brand, please work with your IBM rep to provide a reference. If you are an IBM business partner, your reference would be of great value. If you don't want to or can't be a full blown case study (IBM's favorite kind of reference), providing a quote that IBM can leverage is of great value. If you don't know who your rep is or need additional help, call 1-800-426-4968 (1-800-IBM-4-YOU) and ask to speak with Linda Currie or just say you want to speak with someone in Information Management regarding references.

If you work for a company who's name would lend credibility to the Informix brand, please work with your IBM rep to provide a reference. If you are an IBM business partner, your reference would be of great value. I'd echo this. IBM and Ardenta are issuing a press release this week about the world's largest company in its sector (yes, it will be named, and one of its employees is a regular contributor to cdi) renewing its commitment to Inormix in a close-to-US$2m deal. I would say, business partners, that if you involve IBM your own involvement may be somewhat understated in your own view. But He who Pays the Piper Calls the Tune, as everywhere.
