RE: IIUG - Q&A to IBM
Hi Gumby, Sorry don't answer before, I just arrived in Brazil... long trip... So, I don't really expected any answer of IBM... my question is something like "just for fun" , can be a good idea like Jerry said, but with low probability to happen, because this is not like IBM operates and for other most obvious reason... there is some Superman movie to incoming?? If not.. maybe they can use the Smallvile soap operas ,,, Well, keep the subject in the "funny area" , I received a answer from Gary with a excellent phrase, Gary, I hope your don't mind if I copy here: Superman colors are a perfect match but it is easier to ask the film drector to have Superman say in the movie "I am fast but Informix is faster" then to get IBM to advertise Informix. If some day IBM do something like this...any reward for give the idea will welcome!!! :) César --- Em qua, 28/4/10, Ian Michael Gumby <im_gumby@hotmail.com> escreveu: De: Ian Michael Gumby <im_gumby@hotmail.com> Assunto: RE: IIUG - Q&A to IBM Para: cesar_inacio_martins@yahoo.com.br, informix-list@iiug.org Data: Quarta-feira, 28 de Abril de 2010, 16:48 Cesar, Here's the short answer... IBM only markets the IBM brand and not the specific products. So if you were to do a marketing tie in to Superman, it would be to sell IBM's Global Services or as a complete solutions provider and not a SWG product. You don't have to take my word for it, but I doubt you'll get an official response from IBM ;-) -G Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:54:05 -0700 From: cesar_inacio_martins@yahoo.com.br Subject: IIUG - Q&A to IBM To: informix-list@iiug.org Hi, In the Q&A I send a question to Gary ask in they "Gary Talk Show" to IBM executives, but they don't have time to do.... So, here is: Incoming to IIUG event from Brazil, in Newark airport I watch on TV the movie trailer Ironman 2 with advertising by Oracle/Sun. Check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y56CbCpXohk When IBM will do the same with Informix and Superman movie?? Both are faster, reliable and the color of uniform of superman match with Informix Logo !!! César The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea. Combine multiple calendars with Hotmail. Get busy.
