First person to tell me what they sell wins.

I'm sure they leverage a lot of core competencies and stuff, but what do they DO?

Thank you. You win.


Note: usericon selection tongue-in-cheek. Stopping there.

What did I win?

My eternal love and devotion.

*sob* You're... you're like a sister to me!!!!

Everything you do at work that you hate.

Tracking your tasks in fifteen-minute increments.

Justifying one more Visio license.

Logging a call with a customer, right down to the drop-down menu for "customer attitude at end of call".

It allows executives to focus on ten dollars, but doesn't tell them where the other ten million went.

Note that SAS stands (or stood) for Statistical Application Software. I used it *a lot* while going for my psych degree.

I spent a good long while trying to figure out what the initials stood for. (Given how my brain works, that information was probably located in the upper left corner of the site's main page, in a really big font. That's the stuff I'm most likely to miss.)

Actually, I happen to know this one - because of the fact that they're on my "top 5 companies I'd work for in a heartbeat."

Several years back, 60 minutes did a huge spread on them as a place to work, b/c of how well they treat their employees... they have one of the lowest employee turnovers ever.

And what they sell is customized Software - that predominantly is focusing on business performance data and integration.

Why did you run across them, if you don't mind me asking?

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

A rep e-mailed me to schedule time to meet while I'm at the CMP Xchange. I'm thinking their products aren't for our channel... we're all small & medium business. No enterprise at all. They look very very enterprise.

[yndy.livejournal.com]

they are VERY enterprise level... and frakking expensive...
but if you ever get a job offer from them? Go! Move to NC and bask in the glory that is a company that thinks its people are its greatest resource - and does things like provide them with free child-care, college planning, memberships to the local country club, and benefits that make the head spin.

:P

But yeah, not something for your size business... and did I mention pricey? lol
