our marketing department will announce its available as soon as it is

Tony,

IBM's .net integration is real soon now. We are talking in terms of a few
weeks, not months.

To speed this up further we should email LeRoy each day asking is it here

FWIW, you don't need third-party tools to connect into your MV

you _can't_ maintain these other tools on your own, so you may be better
off
writing your own tools, which may cost much less in the long run than
buying, even if you need to contract someone to write the tools for you.

I think the reason you're waiting for UO.NET is that you've found the other
connectivity libraries to be inadequate, but you're hoping that someone
will
still provide a free or low-cost alternative.  Many people here hate those
libs and others love them, to each his/her own.  But if IBM can't get the
existing libraries to work for you now, then it's unlikely they're going to
come up with something new that will change that in the near time-frame.
Sure we can hope and trust, but it's going to take IBM time to develop,
beta, and deploy a new library, and then there is the initial bleeding edge
v1.0 honeymoon/pain that developers have to tolerate, so you aren't looking
at a real solution for quite some time yet.

With all this in mind I thought you might be more inclined to try a proven
solution that's available immediately, rather than waiting for ...
whatever.

Good Luck.

Not ALL marketing costs dollars.  For example, how many dollars are pumped
into Visage marketing on cdp and the u2-users lists?  Additionally, it
really is amazing the fact that U2UG has a domain name (u2ug.org) and a web
site and a host site for u2-users and a zero dollar budget.  There are
generous people within our midst.

Dawn M. Wolthuis wrote:

 I have no clue whether their  marketing strategy is working to
 grow them significantly beyond their initial MUMPs 
 base, but I'm definitely curious.

Dawn, I've had loose discussions with MV VARs about Cache' for quite a while
now, and in brief, with InterSystems themselves.  If you think about it,
they've been doing page-sized ads in all major developer and business
magazines for a couple years now.  No one has such deep pockets that they
will continue to throw away that kind of money on a weekly basis.  I can't
verify that their marketing has been fiscally successful but I think we can
reasonably make that deduction.  Whether they're successful in recouping
their investments or not, I bow in awe to a well executed marketing
campaign.

IBM should take note:
- Here is a small company with a factionalized developer/reseller base like
MV.
- They don't have the wealth of applications that we do.
- They are faced with the Mumps stigma just as we are saddled with the Pick
stigma.
- They don't talk applications - they are looking for new developers.  Hmmm,
does ANYONE in the MV market really look to bring in new developers from
outside?
- They are promoting multidimensionality, making it acceptable again.
- They are doing marketing for a non-relational DBMS, and by various
definitions they are very successful.

It looks like InterSystems is charging up the hill for battle without
getting shot.  If IBM doesn't want to lead this market, they would do well
to follow the lead that has already been started.  IBM has shown that they
aren't stuck on being innovators, and not afraid to shift gears and embrace
a worthy cause, considering their adoption of Java and Linux.  In this case,
IBM owns the technology, unlike Java and Linux - why not pursue
opportunities at this ideal time?

There is another significant dynamic here that all MV people should take a
note of from a competitive standpoint.  Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, and
InterSystems are targeting the same small business market that has been the
bread and butter of the MV world for a generation.  With every small success
that any of these companies make, some MV VAR and their DBMS vendor will
incur a loss.  The large companies have announced firm strategies for
targeting this space, including buying entire software companies just for
the purpose.  You guys have a bulls-eye on your collective head.  Unless
this market acts to compete with this invasion, we're all going to be losing
a lot very soon.

To further hammer this home, InterSystems now claims to have software to
migrate Pick data and software to Cache'.  Whether it's a 50% or a 100%
migration it doesn't matter.  The point is that they see value in this
market and are actively taking steps to approach migrations.

In case there is any misunderstanding, I'll summarize for IBM:
Your competition is marketing and selling business applications directly to
your customers and prospect base - and you're letting them.  Unless you
market the technologies and applications that are already under your
umbrella, you will lose a lot of money.

I can provide specifics along with strategies for addressing the situation
to anyone who has serious interest - through a consulting engagement of
course.

 In preparing the agenda for the Sept 19 meeting of the U2UG 
 in Las Vegas (to which everyone is invited!) we are planning to have 
 significant discussions about the topic of marketing U2 and the
 underlying database.  Even if IBM
 does not do that type of marketing, potentially the U2UG could do some

I think U2 is about 4.5Million seats and when you add other PICK
environments it comes to over 6 Million seats.  

With IBM U2 Marketing they cannot advertise outside the DB2 brand.  The U2UG
can, to some extent.  What the User Group can do strategically is what Dawn
is talking about, whether it is media awareness directly by the group, or by
differentiating U2 in a manner that IBM sees a benefit in advertising it
differently such as lotus.  Here is the chance for Users to make a
difference

 Yeah, it's called the Pick Data Provider .NET from Raining Data.  It's
 very
 popular with larger U2 sites.

 I know, you're wondering about UO.NET from IBM... Sorry, no clue.
 
 Ya know, George, you guys left RD for good business reasons, but PDP.NET
 is
 seriously good technology.  Don't write it off because you don't like the
 company, although I understand that's a significant factor when buying new
 components.  PDP now has the sanctions of Microsoft, and it can't hurt to
 tell management that you're running Microsoft-approved .NET communications
 with your IBM-approved database.

Tony,

Please can you substantiate the statement PDP now has the sanctions of
Microsoft?

It's not that I doubt your statement, but if I were to do like you say and
tell management that you're running Microsoft-approved .NET
communications, I'd like to be able to answer the inevitable 'prove it!'
come-back with something a little more official than 'Tony Gravagno said so'
;-)

Thanks

Mike

Re: Unclassified RE: [U2] .Net Provider for Unidata or Universe

2004-06-16 Thread Leroy Dreyfuss
I would suggest calling your VAR (if you have one) or your facing IBM U2
support center. We can send you most documents when you request, depending
upon their content. At some point between now and November, you will be
able to access these documents without contacting us, but we are waiting
for other IBM processes outside of U2 to be completed before we are
permitted to grant access to our partners and end-users.
